Imagine the very first time you climbed a mountain, wandered into a forest, or sat by the shores of a pristine lake. Maybe the experience was adventurous, peaceful or awe inspiring. Many New Hampshire residents may have to reach far back to recall these memories, however many visitors to New Hampshire’s State Parks are doing these things for the very first time.

That is where the New Hampshire Conservation Corps steps forward: for the third year the NHCC has teamed up with New Hampshire State Parks and Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH) to provide the 2009 Discover the Power of Parks Program.

Visitors to the park may soon believe they're seeing ghosts of the CCC in Bear Brook State Park.

Each year, skills trainers from across the conservation arena are invited to share their knowledge and techniques with the corps, ranging from rustic timber skills older than the trees to newer innovations like the grip hoist, a hand operated winch capable of lifting and moving massive boulders like they were skipping stones.

This season, we will kick off with an introduction to the basics of mechanical advantage - using simple machines to accomplish amazing tasks.

Members Teach Local Students About Responsible Water Use

How can students apply what they learn about the environment to their everyday lives? How can we motivate youth to take action improving their local environment? What can kids do to make others in their community aware of environmental issues? Twenty-four members of SCA's New Hampshire Conservation Corps are keeping these questions in mind as they conduct their annual "Education Season" providing environmental education to fourth and eighth grade students at thirteen schools in the Allenstown and Manchester School districts.

Bring the whole family and join the SCA NH Conservation Corps for the 5th annual Earth Day Celebration at Veteran's Park on Saturday, April 18th. The celebration begins at 11am, following the Adopt-A-Block neighborhood cleanup, and will include a variety of activities for people of all ages. Expect face painting, paper making, educational booths and an Eco-raffle! Go here for more
