The Northwood Food Pantry volunteers extend a sincere THANK YOU to all the people who have so generously answered the call for support over the past few months. The huge outpouring of food donations and financial support has allowed the pantry to continue to serve those in need as the level of requests for food has increased. Each supporter is an important part of what makes it possible to continue to serve our neighbors.


The Northwood Emergency Food Pantry (NEFP) provides a supply of food, soap, and paper goods to individuals or families in need. NEFP was organized by a group of people representing many civic organizations and the local churches to meet the needs of people in the community facing a food shortage for any reason. Some of the people who have been served include those who are unemployed or recently lost a job, family crisis such as separation or divorce, and people on fixed incomes unable to meet their basic needs. Formed in the early 1980’s the pantry has been able to continue to provide this service for over 25 years due to the generous support of many individuals and organizations throughout Northwood. It has been the hope of NEFP volunteers that no child or adult in the community would be without needed food or basic health supplies. 
To request help from the pantry, please contact Food Pantry Coordinator Pat Jacobsmeyer at 942-8912. There are no set hours that the pantry is open; food is supplied on an as needed basis. 


Winter is a particularly difficult time for people due to heating bills and lack of seasonal employment. If you can provide a financial donation or would like to donate food supplies, please call the number above.

Introduction To Invasive Plants Workshop


The Workshop will be held on Wednesday, February 17th, 7:00 p.m. at the Northwood Town Hall.


You’ve seen them - along roadsides, bordering streams and wetlands, and even in your own back yard. Many non-native invasive plant species are pretty, grow easily and spread rapidly. They are pervasive throughout Northwood and surrounding towns - and that’s the problem. Invasive species overwhelm and crowd out native plants, reduce wildlife habitat, impact water quality, and decrease diversity in natural plant communities.


This workshop will help you to:
Identify invasive species in your neighborhood.
Understand how they got here and how they impact our environment.
Learn how to control their spread and preserve native plants.
Get involved with community efforts to monitor and control invasive species.
Presented by: Doug Cygan, Invasive Species Coordinator, New Hampshire Department of Agriculture.


Please join us to learn more about invasive species and how you can take action to help!


For more information, contact:
Carl Wallman, NALMC at [email protected] or 435-5209.
Dawn Genes, LRWA at [email protected] or 659-9363.

 


 

Bear-Paw Announces Annual Meting For February 13th


Bear-Paw Regional Greenways invites their members, friends, and the public to its Annual Meeting scheduled for February 13th, 2010. Bear-Paw will be celebrating the completion of nine conservation projects conserving over 944 acres last year - it now holds easements protecting 36 properties and 3,255 acres. In 2010, Bear-Paw expects to conserve more than 1,000 additional acres!


Bear-Paw Regional Greenways Annual Meeting will be held at Coe-Brown Academy, 907 First NH Turnpike (Route 4), Northwood, NH, on Saturday, February 13, 2010, Registration begins at 8:30 a.m.


After a brief business meeting and the presentation of awards, Vince Walsh, a wildlife tracker and natural history expert, will be this year’s guest speaker. He will present a morning slide program of the mammals that inhabit our northern woods and will have on-hand mounted specimens, skulls, skins, scats and plaster casts of tracks from his extensive collection. Vince will then help lead our afternoon trip to nearby conservation land as we search for animal sign. (www.kawingcrow.com).


After a potluck lunch that will be provided, please plan to join us for a moderately strenuous walk on nearby conservation land. Weather permitting, we will snowshoe or hike. The Annual Meeting will also feature the raffle of many donated items. Bear-Paw welcomes donations from artists, writers, and craftspeople for this fundraising effort.


Pre-registration is requested so that Bear-Paw can plan appropriately so please register at [email protected], www.bear-paw.org, or 463-9400 by February 5th to reserve your place. This event is open to the public and a modest donation is requested to offset the cost of the event ($10.00 for members and $15.00 for non-members).

Established by resident volunteers, Bear-Paw works to conserve open space in Candia, Deerfield, Epsom, Northwood, Nottingham, Raymond, and Strafford through outreach, education, and land protection project assistance.
