Quotes: Mount Sunapee

“Climb the mountains and get their glad tidings.  Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.  The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.” – John Muir (1838-1914)

This quote can be found in the prologue of the "Manual of Mount Sunapee," which chronicled the geological, cultural and natural history of the area and spoke to the importance of public awareness in “preserving the mountain for the enjoyment of all.” 

Published in 1915 by the Sunapee Chapter of the Forest Society, the manual sold for 50 cents and the proceeds went to support trail maintenance on Mount Sunapee.

The Manual is available at Abbott Library, Sunapee, NH, in the Reference Department.

 

NH Parks & Recreation Outreach Workshops

Public Invited to NH Division of Parks and Recreation Strategic and Capital Improvement Plan Outreach Workshops

When/Where:  Tuesday, July 15, 2008 at the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forest (Meeting Room), 54 Portsmouth St., Concord.  Thursday, July 17, 2008 at the North Country Resources Center, 629B Main St., Lancaster.  Tuesday, July 22, 2008 at the Forestry Learning Center, Shieling Forest, Peterborough.  Thursday July 24, 2008 at the Urban Forestry Center, 45 Elwyn Rd, Portsmouth.

Time: Registration at 6:00 pm. Public workshop begins at 6:30 pm with a short presentation and then participants will be asked to break into small, facilitated working groups. Sessions end by 9:00 PM.


Purpose: This series of workshops is being held throughout New Hampshire to provide the public a chance to give input on specific topics in regards to a wide range of state parks’ issues, concerns and opportunities.  These workshops come after initial meetings with the State Park Advisory Council, a committee of pertinent agency and recreation organization representatives, and with special recreational user groups.  The information from those meetings will shape the direction the public workshop takes.

Background: RSA 216-A:3-c directs the Parks and Recreation Division to publish a comprehensive development plan for the state park system.  The plan has two goals; a strategic plan for the Division and a capital improvement plan for the facilities managed.  Thomas Kokx Associates was selected to assist the Division to develop the plans.  The scope of work includes developing objectives, goals, and strategies for the Parks, Trails and Historic Sites Bureaus.  Because of the large scope of work, public collaboration in the early stages of the plan is essential in assuring the consultant identifies public needs and concerns.
