The Bretzfelder Park Committee and the Forest Society are hosting “Darkness in the Daytime” on Wednesday, March 6 at 6 p.m. at Bretzfelder Park in Bethlehem. The talk will be presented by Douglas Arion, PhD is the director of Mountains of Stars, a public science outreach and education program.
Join the Forest Society to learn more about the Great North American Eclipse on April 8. For the second time in seven years, the moon will cover the sun and create a total solar eclipse. This time the total eclipse will cross northern New Hampshire providing Granite Staters with front row seats to the astrological event. What do we know about the sun, and how are we connected to the universe by experiencing this amazing event? A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, the total eclipse is not to be missed.

Event Details
The Bretzfelder Park Committee and the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests is hosting The Wonder of Hummingbirds, An Introduction to these Fascinating Birds, on March 13 at 6 at Bretzfelder Park in Bethlehem.
Join Elizabeth (Betsy) Fraser to learn what has the weight of a penny, an average speed of 27 mph, and has a metabolism that is 300 times faster than an elephant’s. Enjoy a discussion about the numerous species of hummingbirds, where they reside and how diverse the species are. Fraser will focus on Ruby Throated Hummingbirds, the “hummers” that are found in the eastern United States, including New Hampshire.
March seems early to discuss hummingbirds however, the migration of Ruby Throats from the tropics heading northward is already underway. We’ll explore where they are in their migration and how to use various databases to track their progress northward, reaching our area by early May. If you are a hummer aficionado, come and share your information. Or if you’re just getting started, come, and learn tips on how to make your yard attractive to hummers. Fraser will discuss types of feeders, how to make nectar and how to set up your garden to attract hummers. She’ll share experiences of hummers swarming at the feeder, helping hummers make it through a freak May snowstorm, and having hummers eat out of her hand.
The free program is interactive and designed to engage and educate audience members of all ages.
