RSVP here to join us on November 8 for our Standing Trees annual gathering in Hanover, NH — and make a day of it by joining us for two other exciting forest-related events before and after the meeting. RSVPs are particularly helpful to allow us to estimate dinner quantities.

Where: Meeting room at the Dartmouth College Church of Christ in Hanover, NH.

When: 4-6pm on Saturday, November 8.

What: Join us for a catered meal and an excellent opportunity to connect with the whole Standing Trees community. The Standing Trees Board will lead us in a brief discussion of organizational business and a celebration of everything we have been up to over the last year.

More information: November 8 will be a full day of wild forest celebration and learning. If you can, please join us for these other two wonderful events:

• Mount Sunapee Old Growth Forest Walk. 10am. The 1,185-acre Mount Sunapee Reservation contains majestic old forest that has been undisturbed for at least 350 years, but lacks any status that would protect it from ski area expansion and other threats. Join the Hanover Conservation Commission and local advocates for a relatively steep, 4-mile out and back hike. Meet at the lower parking lot on the Mt. Sunapee Access Road. More information and RSVP here.

• This Glorious Earth: A Concert by Paul Winter. 7pm at the Dartmouth College Church of Christ in Hanover, NH. Join acclaimed, 6-time Grammy-award-winning jazz musician Paul Winter, renowned cellist Eugene Friesen, and the voices of whale, wolf, and wood thrush, for a concert celebrating wild places and the people who protect them. Plus, enjoy photographs from Tracy Penfield and Anne Bergeron, two local artists whose work celebrates the deep, embodied connections we make with our forests. Tickets available here.
