New Hampshire Day at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center

HOLDERNESS —  Squam Lakes Natural Science Center celebrates the start of the 2014 trail season with New Hampshire Day on Saturday, May 3. The Science Center has held New Hampshire Day annually since 1991.

Regular admission rates are $17 for adults, $14 for seniors (65+), $12 for youth (ages 3 to 15), and children 2 and under are free.

Visitors will see live native New Hampshire animals including red fox, gray fox, skunk, bobcat, mountain lion, white-tailed deer, river otter, black bear, owls, hawks, and eagles in natural enclosures along the three-quarter mile live animal exhibit trail.

In addition to the discounted trail admission, special Up Close to Animals presentations will be held at 11 a.m. (beaver), 1 p.m. (peregrine falcon), and 3 p.m.(porcupine).

"I think it's really important for us to give back to the communities where we live and work," stated Kim Weiland, Area Manager for Dead River Company. "The programs offered by Squam Lakes Natural Science Center help to both educate and enlighten the residents and visitors about our natural world. They teach us about ecology and the importance of preserving our wild spaces. Dead River Company is very proud to once again support New Hampshire Day,"

"The NHEC Foundation Board is happy to support New Hampshire Day again this year and we are excited to extend that support further by offering to cover the already low $3 admission fee for all NHEC members," said Audrey Goudie, Executive Director of the NHEC Foundation.

Once again, club member Harriet Bicksler has been able to obtain a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council to bring this free program, which is open to the public. Matson performed twice for Women's Club in 2012 as Susan B. Anthony and as Eleanor Roosevelt.
