June 6, 2026 (rain date June 7)
5:30 – 10:45 a.m. ET
*See a camping and previous night dinner option below.

Join Matt Tarr, Phil Brown, and others for a morning of birding and learning at Stone Fence Farm, a property owned and managed for a diversity of native species by professional foresters and Guild members, Jeremy Turner and Laura French. Through easygoing, moderately paced walks in a variety of habitats, we’ll explore tips for identifying birds by sight and sound and see how forests, fields, and wetlands can be managed to enhance habitat for birds and other wildlife.

Catherine Coverdale from The Xerces Society will lead discussion and field identification of pollinator conservation practices. Between walks, we’ll take a break to enjoy wood-fired fruit pies (courtesy of Jeremy and Laura) and shade-grown Costa Rican coffee brewed by Ignacio Oreamuno of Troubardour Coffee.

Bring: binoculars and your favorite field guide, and come prepared for biting insects and variable weather.

Camping and dinner option: Optional onsite camping and pizza dinner on Friday, June 5. Continuing education credits for foresters are available. Space is limited, and registration is required at harriscenter.org/events. For more information or to reserve a camping space, contact Laura at stonefencefarmnh@gmail.com by May 31. 

Co-sponsored with UNH Extension, Meadowsend Consulting Company, The Xerces Society, Troubardour Coffee, and the Forest Stewards Guild.
