Bohanan Farm Hike – November 3, 2019
On a glorious cool fall day earlier this month, over 80 people joined Five Rivers at Bohanan Farm for a hike to the confluence of the of the Blackwater and Contoocook Rivers. Ted Deirs, Watershed Management expert at the NH Department of Environmental Services, joined us to discuss why the places where rivers come together are so rich in soil, plants and animals.
Naturalists Ruth Smith and Linden Rayton explored a vernal pool with participants. And Jamie Robertson of Contoocook Creamery (Bohanan Farm) talked about the cover crops that protect his fields through the winter. Contoocook Creamery milk and cheese, Carter Hill Orchards cider, apples an donuts capped off the day. Thanks to our sponsors, the Hvizda Team of Keller Williams Realty and Stockwell Physical Therapy for making this hike possible!
