NH Sierra Club will lead a paddle on the Merrimack River on June 20th. Enjoy the day on the River and learn from Eric Orff, a local wildlife expert, about the environmental and public health effects of burning coal on the Merrimack and beyond. Bring your own boat or reserve a canoe or kayak with the Contoocook River Canoe Company at a reduced rate. The public is welcome but we will keep the group small, 10-14 people.
To reserve your spot and/or boat reservation instructions, email Outings Leader Sheddi Shera sheharyar.shera@gmail.com or call the NH Sierra Club Office in Concord 224-8222.
