Camping at Whit’s End By Mark Okrant Photos courtesy Whit’s End Campground Among the Lakes Region’s 30 private campgrounds, their clientele of families is of paramount importance. This is in keeping with the nation’s camping business as a whole. According to a Kampgrounds of America, Inc. (KOA) study, there were nearly 95 million camper households in North America during 2020, with 79 million in the United States alone. Camping appears to be in a very solid position for future growth, as 45 percent of campers engage in three or more occasions each year. Furthermore, the fact that more than one-half of this group consists of millennials (currently ages 25 to 40) bodes well for the prospects of the camping industry. With the average family camping trip lasting one to two days, the motivations that fuel the current growth trend are not surprising. Participants use camping to escape from their busy, stressful lives. Most have a deep-seated love of the outdoors, and enjoy connecting with nature. Ultimately, however, it is the opportunities that camping offers to spend quality time with family and friends which are desired. Situated at 140 Newman Drew Road in West Ossipee, Whit’s End Campground promotes itself as situated “where the mountains meet the lakes.” With its location along the Bearcamp River, the facility provides a water and woods camping experience. Whit’s End has 25 riverfront RV sites, each providing both clean water and electricity hookups. A majority (65) of

the facility’s camping sites are wooded; each provides water and electricity. Importantly, a number of Whit’s End campsites have access to a WiFi hotspot. Whit’s End has space for a large number of seasonal sites, which are available from May 2 through October 18. They also have a number of recreation vehicles for rent. Whit’s End prides itself on providing large RV sites. Some of these are able to accommodate pull-throughs—spaces designed to be easier to park recreation vehicles without the necessity to back into them. The campground has a free dump station, and its honey wagon service is available for hire at a reasonable price. The campground discourages group camping; however, day visitors are allowed, with reasonable rates offered to encourage them. As reflected in its policy statements, this is a family friendly campground. Smoking in public areas, weapons and

other noise-making or potentially dangerous devices, and alcoholic beverages are all prohibited. Furthermore, the campground strictly enforces its quiet hours between 10 pm to 8 am. Since camping parents hope to indoctrinate their children to this activity, youths soon learn to associate familiar forms of outdoor recreation as part of a camping experience. According to the Whit’s End website, www.whitsendcampground.com, a range of amenities is available on site . . . ideal for a family camping experience. A heated, L-shape swimming pool is open until Labor Day. There are numerous small beach sites on the Bearcamp River; and campers are encouraged to sunbathe or swim there. Additionally, there are tube rentals; and the Bearcamp is excellent for both tubing or kayaking. Adult campers are strongly encouraged to remain vigilant, as Whit’s End does not provide lifeguards.

For those who prefer land-based activities, the campground has a very interesting playground, complete with swings, climbing ladders, a slide, and other child-friendly equipment. There is a large wood frame building where the main office is located. Inside is a general store, with a recreation hall, vending machines and tables for eating meals, a laundry, and showers. The building’s large veranda is a place where people can enjoy a perspective of the campground and its surroundings. Nearby on the grounds, there is a facility where movies are shown and campers have an opportunity to socialize. During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had a severe impact upon most elements of New Hampshire’s recreation and tourism industry. Those campgrounds that remained open were forced to implement policies that dramatically reduced capacities, person-to-person interaction, and activities. Despite some remaining concern about the virus, most of those businesses have reopened and are providing an attractive list of events. During weekends throughout August, September, and prior to closing in October, Whit’s End Campground will be offering an interesting set of activities: On Saturday and Sunday, August 1415, the campground will feature Kids Craft, an opportunity to make your own boat from recycled materials. This will be followed by a recycled boat

It’s Time for the Peter Ferber Show! On Saturday, August 14, The Art Place in downtown Wolfeboro will hold its semi-annual Peter Ferber Gallery Show featuring new original paintings by local well-known artist Peter Ferber. Peter Ferber has been showing at The Art Place gallery in downtown Wolfeboro since the early 1990s. His artwork captures the essence of experiences and places that the viewer has had or seen. With an eye for detail and a nod to the past, this well-known local artist captures life as it should be, filled with nostalgia and comfortable surroundings. However, there is a bit of intrigue and uniqueness in the gallery show this time. You will have to come see for yourself! Peter Ferber hints at the upcoming show, “The group of paintings for the August show is marked by variety. No two is alike. They hit on all the subjects I love, with a few things I don’t often do, and one I’ve never done. Looking them over in my mind, I do see some pairings. Two of boats in the early morning. Two looking outof-doors–one from an upstairs cottage bedroom and one from inside a boathouse. Two where the sky plays a major role–one a sunset, and one in moonlight. They move you from a restful porch in the sunlight, to a brisk, breezy island mooring. They span the seasons from (mostly) summer, to fall, to winter. They span locations from our local lake to Chichester to Fougeres in France. This last one from a place I visited in college, and have had fun going through those photographs and bringing to painted fruition ideas that I didn’t get to work on at the time.

“Finally, there’s one that doesn’t fit in anywhere and is unlike anything I’ve ever done. It, too, is an idea that has been waiting years to come out. I’ve even had the title in mind all this time. Though there is no cut-paper piece in this show, this one uses that medium in combination with a traditional watercolor. I don’t want to make too much of it, but it should be a conversation-starter, and maybe elicit a chuckle. I hope no one thinks I’ve ‘gone around the bend,’ as a British friend of ours used to say! “All in all, I think this will be an interesting show to see. And I’ll say that the one thing these paintings do have in common is that as each one has gone out my studio door, I’ve wanted to take another look or two at it, because it has something special that I’ve really enjoyed, and I hope the viewer will too.” The Peter Ferber Gallery Show is held twice a year –in August and in February– at The Art Place, located at 9 North Main St. in downtown Wolfeboro. Many people, some traveling long distances, arrive early before the doors open at 9:30 am and line up to ensure they are first to see the new works. Peter Ferber will be present at the show during the day, providing a wonderful opportunity to hear the stories behind the paintings directly from the artist. The Gallery Show will run until August 28 or before if all the paintings are sold. More information is available by calling 603-569-6159. Keep posted for updates on the Art Place Facebook page at theartplacewolfeboro.

Savor Summer (and Fall) with Tin Mountain Events Tin Mountain Conservation Center in Albany has some great programs for late summer right into the autumn. From ice cream cones to a ghost town tour and nature hikes, there is definitely something of interest! Field Program Naturalist Led Hikes in Jackson take place on Thursdays from 10 am to noon in August. Join one of Tin Mountain Conservation Center’s naturalists for weekly hikes at the Jackson Field Station property. Highlights include visiting the summit of Tin Mountain for the awesome views, exploring an abandoned tin mine and learning about the history of the property while visiting a historic homestead. You’ll also enjoy seeing the ponds that dot the property. Along the way, the naturalist will identify plants, trees and point out animal signs. The hikes are a great way to explore the trails of the Jackson Field Station. Participants of all ages are welcome, and advance registration is required. Visit www.tinmountain.org to register online or call 603-447-6991. Cones for a Cause will happen on Wednesday, August 18 from noon to 9 pm at Trails End Ice Cream in Intervale. Eat delicious local ice cream and support Tin Mountain! Stop by Trails End Ice Cream in Intervale across from the Scenic Vista to help Tin Mountain. On Thursday, August 26 at 7 pm, the program will be NH’s Karner Blue Butterfly Population. The Karner blue butterfly was once found readily from Maine to Minnesota, but is now lim-

ited to small pockets of pine barrens and oak savannas in eight states. New Hampshire hosts a small population of these federally listed endangered species on the 300 acres of the Concord Pine Barrens. For a number of years, biologists have been releasing captive-bred Karner blues in the hopes that they will begin breeding in the wild. In 2009, 250 adult butterflies hatched in the wild in the Concord Pine Barrens. It marked the fifth straight year that scientists have reported Karner blues surviving in the wild in New Hampshire. Join Heidi Holman, wildlife biologist with NH Fish & Game, for an overview of the Karner blue butterfly and the state’s management and recovery efforts. (A Zoom link will be on www.tinmountain.org.) Environmental Book Group: Entangled Life will be the program on Wednesday, September 1 at 3 pm. Entangled Life travels below the surface to explore the world from a fungal point of view. This international best seller by biologist Merlin Sheldrake explores the fungi kingdom from yeast to psychedelics. All are welcome; you don’t need to have finished the book (or even started it) to join the conversation! Zoom link will be on www. tinmountain.org. (Tin Mountain’s Environmental Book Group is sponsored in part by White Birch Books Do you love the flowers of summer? Be there for the Late Summer Wildflowers: Evening Program on Wednesday, September 1 at 7 pm. Join Exec-

utive Director, Lori Jean Kinsey, for a look at the wildflowers of late summer and early fall. Some of the showiest and boldest flowers, such as cardinal flowers, gentians, and goldenrods are starting to appear. Not only are they beautiful, important pollinators, but they often have unique seeds and seed dispersal techniques. The program will look at a variety of different habitats to see what’s blooming. (A Zoom link will be on www.tinmountain.org.) Late Summer Wildflowers: Pondicherry Field Exploration takes place on Thursday, September 2, from 9 am to 1 pm. Join Executive Director, Lori Jean Kinsey, for a field exploration of late summer and early fall wildflowers at Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge. You should see Joe Pye weed, goldenrods,

asters, and gentian flowers, to name a few as well as some early fall bird migrants passing through. This is a moderate hike approximately 4 miles in length with minimal elevation gain. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes, bring water, lunch and bring binoculars for some early fall migrants. Advance registration is required. Register online at www.tinmountain.org. Sponsored in part by the Neil & Louise Tillotson Fund at the NH Charitable Foundation. On September 9 at 7 pm, Fall Birds of the Bog: Evening Program explores the wonderful Brownfield Bog.

Page 10 | ALONG ROUTE 16 | August 2021 • Tin Mountain continued from page 5 habitat in fall, including ducks, shorebirds, and migrating songbirds. An optional bird walk in the Bog is scheduled for September 18. (A Zoom link will be on www.tinmountain.org.) Intro to Field Sketching: Drawing Wildflowers is all about drawing flowers on Saturday, September 11, from 9:30 to 11 am at the Nature Learning Center in Albany. Whether you want to keep a garden journal, a travel journal, or a journal of nature’s events in your own backyard, the geometry of flower shapes is a wonderful way to see flowers as shapes rather than as a very familiar object. This field sketching course will introduce participants to basic practices that will help artists draw with less stress and often more accurately. Participants will also learn key skills to change how they look at the beautiful wildflowers around them, including basic flower anatomy, obser-

vation skills and how to isolate the various shapes that make up an individual flower. Participants should bring a 9- x 12-in. or larger sketchpad (newsprint pads are not recommended), drawing pencils, and an eraser. No prior drawing experience is necessary. Space is limited. Advance registration required; register online at www. tinmountain.org. Fall Birding in the Bog: Field Program will take place on September 18 from 8 to 11 am. Fall is a great time to explore the Brownfield Bog. Join Will Broussard in search of migrating song birds, shorebirds, and maybe even a kettle of hawks! Bring binoculars or borrow Tin Mountain’s. Space is limited and advance registration required. Register online at www.tinmountain.org. A Hawk Talk is scheduled for Thursday, September 23 at 7 pm. Join Tin Mountain researcher manager Katy Lewis for a discussion of common migrating hawks of the northeast. The program will cover basic identification

marks, flight, behavior, and sightings of hawks. An optional hawk watch on September 25 will allow participants to put new ID skills into practice. (A Zoom link will be on www.tinmountain.org.) Hawk Watch: Peary Mountain will happen on Saturday, September 25, from 9 am to noon. Search for hawks during their fall migration. Enjoy a great hike on Peary Mountain in Brownfield, Maine, while you look for hawks, other birds, and signs of fall. Bring binoculars or borrow from Tin Mountain. Space is limited, and advance registration required. Register online at www.tinmountain.org. Everyone loves a fair and one of the best around is the Fryeburg Fair! The beloved fair is scheduled for October 3 to 10 and Tin Mountain will be there. Fantastic Fungi I Have Loved and Known: Evening Program on Thursday, October 7 at 7 pm brings mycologist Dr. Rick Van de Poll for a photographic tour of the fantastic (and infamous) fungi of New Hampshire followed by a walk the next weekend. Dive into the microscopic world of fungal growth and development, meet up with mycelium and mycorrhiza, and learn how to separate the edible from the poisonous, the common from the rare, as well as how to prepare mushrooms for winter consumption long after they have retreated underground. An additional guided walk on October 17 will infect the beginner and the practiced amateur with fun-filled facts about our most mysterious kingdom of organisms on the planet! (A Zoom link will be on www.tinmountain.org.) An event, titled Fantastic Fungi I

Have Loved and Known: Field Program on Saturday, October 17 runs from 10 am to 12:30 pm at the Rockwell Sanctuary in Albany. Join mycologist Dr. Rick Van de Poll for the field session follow-up to his evening program, covering the fantastic (and infamous) fungi of New Hampshire. The guided walk on Saturday will give the beginner and the practiced amateur fun-filled facts about our most mysterious kingdom of organisms on the planet. Space is limited and advance registration is required. Register online at www.tinmountain.org. As we head into late fall, be there for Exploration of Historic Livermore on Saturday, November 6 from 9:30 am to 1 pm. Nestled along the Sawyer River in Crawford Notch is the abandoned logging town of Livermore. Local history enthusiast and past U.S. Forest Service employee, Cort Hansen, will lead participants on an exploration of this once-thriving community that is now reduced to cellar holes, stonewalls and other artifacts amongst the trees.

Stay In... Outstanding Chicken Thigh Recipes By Chef Kelly Ross In today’s adventure in the land of food, we are back to the grill again. This time we will be talking about my second favorite cut of chicken, that being the thigh. Wings are by far my favorite cut, but the thighs are easily the moister and with the most flavor. Wings are a fun party food and great appetizer when lathered up with a great sauce, but the thighs are so full of flavor right off the grill without any help. Thighs are very inexpensive to buy and seriously have the most flavor. It’s a big time win-win for everyone. However, adding sauces and marinades can only make them better. Some of my favorite wing sauces work just as well on thighs, but there are a variety of options to keep everyone smiling. This first one is my favorite on today’s list. We start with a Thai Grilled Chicken recipe that is almost guaranteed to get all mouths watering. As a general rule, chicken thighs are very moist, but in the marinade for this one, coconut milk is a key part in making it even more moist. Add the other key ingredients to this simple recipe as well as the outstanding dipping recipe for once it is cooked and you have yourself a huge winner. This recipe is for 12 bone-in thighs, 4 lbs or so, which generally feeds 3-4 people since thighs Usually aren’t that large. As it often does, it comes down to the side dishes. Thai Grilled Chicken Thighs with a Sweet & Spicy Dipping Sauce For The Chicken 3 medium cloves of garlic

the grill. I know many who do like to tweak this recipe, which I always recommend because the greatest thing about cooking is adjusting recipes to your own liking. This “sort of” has a Buffalo mentality to it considering the hot sauce, and the name of this recipe, but it is also very sweet and also has a barbecue sauce feel to it. This recipe is for 4 lbs of chicken thighs, and yes, of course, all of these recipes can easily be used for any cut of chicken.

2 tsp whole black peppercorns, coarsely ground 2 tbsp minced cilantro stems Pinch of salt 2 tbsp fish sauce, found in the Asian section of any supermarket ½ cup coconut milk 4 lbs bone in chicken thighs, skin removed if preferred, or trimmed Dipping Sauce 1 cup rice vinegar or cider vinegar 1 cup sugar 2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes ¼ cup minced garlic ½ tsp salt

Fire Cracker Chicken Thighs 1 ½ cup Franks Hot sauce, or any favorite hot sauce 2 cups packed brown sugar 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar 6 cloves garlic, minced 1 ½ tsp kosher salt ¾ tsp crushed red pepper flakes 4 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs Kosher salt Fresh grind black pepper For the sauce, place all but the last 3 ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools. The sauce works at its best at room temperature. Once ready to grill, oil the grill grates and preheat to medium heat. Pat all the chicken thighs down with paper towels and then salt and pepper them. Put the chicken on the grill, skin side down for 5-7 minutes and depending on the flame factor, either turn the heat down a little or flip early as needed, but try not to flip too early. Ideally, you want a very crispy brown skin. If the chicken has stuck to the grill, turn an offset spatula upside down to gently get under the chicken to keep the skin attached to the thighs. Once flipped, brush the crispy tops generously with the sauce. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, adjusting the heat and/ or closing the lid at times to help the cooking process without any flaming going on. Flip again, brush again and bring to 165 degrees. Once off the grill, brush the top side again and serve with

To prepare the chicken, combine garlic cloves, pepper, cilantro stems and pinch of salt in a food processor or food mill and mash or pulse to a coarse paste. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in fish sauce and coconut milk. Add chicken and stir to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate, loosely covered, for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. While the chicken and marinade are chilling, make the dipping sauce. Heat vinegar to a boil in a small pan. Add sugar, stir to dissolve it, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Add crushed red pepper and minced garlic; simmer for 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and stir in salt. Pour into a serving bowl and let cool to room temperature before serving. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Oil the grill rack. Grill, turning occasionally, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part without touching bone registers 165°F, 15 to 20 minutes. Once off the grill, brush with some of the sauce and serve with the rest of it. Next, let’s talk a spicy chicken thigh that was originally created to cook in the kitchen in a cast-iron skillet and then finished in the oven, which is a darn good recipe in and of itself, • Cook Out but hey, we are talking goodies off Continued on page 13

August 2021 | ALONG ROUTE 16 | Page 13 • Cook Out Continued from page 12 extra sauce to those who may want it as much as I do. The upcoming recipe is extremely basic as far as the chicken goes, although it is accompanied by a very cool corn salad. A good friend of mine did this at a cookout at his house and the chicken had no sauce, but as I said earlier, thighs have so much flavor and are so moist it is the one cut of chicken that you can get away with it being sauce-less. I will add, however, that when I adopted this recipe to my repertoire, I added a little something, although somewhat subtle. I usually add a light layer of my homemade barbecue sauce, but hey, feel free to make this your own. Again, this recipe is for 4 lbs of thighs, usually 12 pieces. Grilled Chicken Thighs w/ Summer Corn Salad 9 ears of corn 3 cups of quartered cherry tomatoes 1 ½ tsp fresh grind black pepper, divided 1/3 cup cider vinegar 9 scallions, sliced ¾ cup fresh chopped basil 12 large bone-in chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat ¾ cup olive oil, separated 1 ½ tsp salt On a medium-high heated grill, grill off the corn after husking and lightly brushing with olive oil. Cook on all sides, rolling as needed to cook evenly so all sides are lightly charred. Let the ears completely cool, and when done, cut the corn off the cobs. Brush the

chicken with olive oil on both sides and salt and pepper generously. Again, place the chicken skin-side down on the grill, making sure to get brown and crispy without burning but charring somewhat. Turn over after 8 minutes or so and continue to cook until you reach 165 degrees internally in the chicken. Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar, 6 tbsp of oil, ¾ tsp salt, and ¾ tsp of the pepper in a large bowl. Add the corn, tomatoes, scallions and basil and toss well to coat. Serve together with the chicken, and remember to sauce the chicken in whichever way sounds good to you. So all in all, we have all grilled scores of barbecued chicken in our day. Granted, I make a few different barbecue sauces, as do some of you I am sure, but whether you make them or buy them, barbecued chicken is an American staple. This next recipe is again for 4 lbs of chicken thighs and contains grilled peaches, which are absolutely delicious and go so well with chicken. Barbecued Chicken Thighs with a Sweet Chili and Peach Sauce 10 peaches, sliced in half and pitted, divided 1 cup sweet chili sauce Juice and zest of 2 limes 16 scallions Bamboo skewers, soaked in water 4 red onions, sliced into 3/4” rings Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 4 lb. bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, about 12 pieces In a blender, add 3 peaches,

roughly chopped, sweet chili sauce, and lime juice and zest; pulse and blend until smooth, then transfer to a small bowl. On a rimmed sheet pan place remaining peaches cut side up with green onions. Skewer onions through center and place on sheet pan. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and toss until coated. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat grill to medium-high. Meanwhile, rinse chicken and pat dry well. On a separate rimmed sheet pan, place chicken and drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place chicken on grill and cook covered for 10 minutes. Flip chicken and add peaches, green onions, and onions to grill. Cover for 5 minutes and flip peaches and vegetables. When chicken reaches an internal temperature of 150 to 155 degrees, brush glaze on chicken. Flip chicken until glazed and browned on both sides and internal temperature is 165 degrees; total cooking time for chicken is about 25 minutes. Peaches and vegetables should have dark grill marks and be slightly charred; cooking time is 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large platter and serve with remaining glaze. This is a very fun and delicious backyard meal. Lastly, here is the ultimate economical meal of the day. The thighs are cheap. The sauce is cheap, so the only thing not cheap about this recipe is the flavor. Although there is nothing really new and exciting about this recipe, one of the most asked for sauce recipes is teriyaki sauce, so today we finish with grilled thighs with homemade teriyaki sauce, and yes, again for the usual 4 lbs or so.

Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Thighs 12 bone-in chicken thighs, 4 lbs 1 cup soy sauce 10 scallions, thinly sliced ½ cup fresh squeezed lime juice 2 tbsp honey 2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes 2 cloves garlic, minced Place chicken in a large re-sealable plastic bag. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients; mix well and add to chicken. Seal bag, gently shake to coat, and marinate in refrigerator for about 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium heat. Drain chicken, reserving marinade. Place chicken on the grill and cook for 10 minutes per side, or until no pink remains, basting often with the marinade, but only up until the last five minutes of cooking. In case you did not know, you should never baste foods with a marinade that has come in contact with raw poultry, meat, or seafood during the last 5 minutes of cooking, unless you boil it for a minimum of 3 minutes. This will prevent the potential of any crosscontamination. Always better to play it safe. Enjoy your recipes my friends and also the rest of the summer, although fall is right around the corner and that by far is my favorite season. Always remember to spoil and treat your taste buds like the good friends they are. Until next month, all my best and if you ever care to touch base with any questions or feedback, please e-mail me at fenwaysox10@gmail.com.

Chocorua Lake Paddle & Aquatic Invasives Patrol Variegated milfoil? Water naiads? Chinese mystery snail, Asian clam, zebra mussels and spiny water fleas? What do these things have in common? We don’t want them in our lakes and rivers! These aquatic invasive species can tangle our feet when we swim, hamper passage for our boats, destroy habitat for native species, and worse. On Saturday, August 21 from 7:30 to 10 am, join Chocorua Lake Conservancy (CLC) Stewardship Director Lynne Flaccus for a leisurely guided paddle on Chocorua Lake. The group will leave from the Island public access area on Route 16, and explore the vegetated buffer along the water’s edge with its many nooks and crannies. You will see what insects, reptiles and amphibians can be found, and learn what plants grow with their “feet” in wet soil at the lake’s edge or on the bottom. While exploring the native flora and fauna, paddlers will be on the lookout for signs of exotic aquatic species that could create problems in the lake if they become established. You will have Weed Watcher Kits from the NH Department of Environmental Services (DES) to help with your searches and iden-

tification. Chocorua Lake is home to many native aquatic plants, and looking for clues to identification can help us become aware of what is around us. Want to learn more in advance about what we can be looking for, both the species that belong here and the ones that cause trouble? Amy Smagula, Exotic Species Program Coordinator at DES, joined CLC last year for a webinar on “Protecting Our Lakes from Aquatic Invasive Species.” You can watch the webinar at chocorualake.org/gallery to learn how to identify the native plants in Chocorua Lake and on the shore, and what the ones CLC is hoping never to find look like! If you have not yet been vaccinated, or are less than two weeks from your last shot, please bring a mask for moments when social distancing is not possible. Participants must bring their own canoe or kayak; paddles, and life jackets are required. Be sure to bring sun and bug protection, a water bottle, and snacks. Please email lflaccus@ chocorualake.org with your phone number to let us know you will be coming so that we can let you know of any changes in the schedule. Presenter/naturalist, Lynne Flacus,

Yester year Capturing Nature’s Beauty By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Artists love breathtaking scenery. Whether in summer or winter, the sweeping grandeur of the White Mountains of New Hampshire have been interpreted in books, poems and by numerous artists. From the mid1800s, when hiking and travel to rural areas for summer vacations became fashionable, artists have traversed remote country roads and sometimes crude mountain paths to glimpse and set down their visions of the hills via their chosen artistic medium. Hundreds of painters have visited the White Mountains, but the best known are those of the “White Mountain School.” These painters may have been visiting the area as early as the 1820s or 30s, when sketches of the hills began to circulate. Soon, two landscape artists, Thomas Doughty and Thomas Cole, traveled to the northern New Hampshire area. According to Chronicles of the White Mountains by Frederick Wilkinson Kilbourne, Cole chose the foliagebeautiful autumn of 1828 to visit the area with his friend, Henry Cheeves Pratt. The purpose of the trip was to explore the region. Cole must have found the mountains to his liking and inspiration, because a number of beautiful paintings were the result of the visit. Cole and Pratt climbed Chocorua, a

mountain that was to become a favorite of writers and artists. At that time, trails were few and roads primitive. The climb was difficult, according to Cole’s writings. So awed was Cole of the view from Chocorua, he wrote that the scene was too “extended and map like for the canvas”, and it was not for sketches, but rather for “thoughts” that he climbed Chocorua. Cole walked the mountains and wilderness trails of the White Mountains, impressed by the scope and beauty of the area, in particular of the Great Stone Face (Old Man of the Mountains). He was among the first artists to explore and produce paintings of the northern portion of New Hampshire. His paintings of the mountains were exhibited as far away as at the Royal Academy in London, bringing the remote White Mountains to the larger world. Perhaps Cole’s paintings and writings of the White Mountains prompted the steady trickle of artists who found their way to the inspirational hills. By the 1850s, A. B. Durand, one of the fathers of the American landscape and a Hudson River School (of art) leader, had visited the White Mountains. According to Chronicles of the White Mountains by Kilbourne, Durand produced many paintings of such areas as North Conway, Campton and Franconia Notch. The paintings have hung in public, as well as private

collections. Because of the number of artists who painted in the White Mountains, some have been forgotten over time. A great source of information about the White Mountains artists was Benjamin Champney, who, in the last years of his life published a memoir of the artists of the area. Champney died at age 90 in 1907. His first trip to the White Mountains was many years earlier, in 1838, according to Consuming Views: Art and Tourism in the White Mountains, 1850-1900, a publication of the New Hampshire Historical Society. On that early visit, Champney produced sketches of the scenery. After that, he studied in Europe for a number of years. When he returned to America, Champney was a professional landscape artist. The pull of the majestic White Mountains was still strong, and Champney made another visit to the Saco River/North Conway area in 1850 with two other artists. They lodged with a local resident and made friends in the area. It was a successful trip, and the artists stayed for the entire summer and into the autumn, hiking and sketching among the mountains. By the following summer, artists were flocking to the northern New Hampshire mountains and when Champney returned, he found other artists already living at the Kearsarge House. The next few years saw the number of artists swell, and by 1855 the hills and fields were populated by men and women sketching and painting all they saw. After his marriage in the 1850s, Champney acquired a home in the area and made it his permanent summer resident. In his writings, Champney stated that the area was at one time as famous as any European or New York artist’s colony. Men were not the only ones who came to the White Mountains to capture the scenic beauty. Women, too, ventured to the area and for some of those female painters, it was due to the influence of Champney. He mentored both male and female artists in Boston, and according to a historical catalog for a Museum of the White Mountains

exhibit Taking the Lead: Women and the White Mountains by Marcia Schmidt Blaine, one of those artists, Anna C. Freeland, came to Jackson, NH to teach art classes. This was during the 1880s and Anna was a member of the Boston Art Club (Champney also was a member of the club). Some painters set up residence at White Mountain hotels of choice and became artists in residence during the summer months. Emily Harris Selinger and her husband, Jean Paul, were resident artists at the Glen House and later the Crawford House, according to Taking the Lead. It must have been an idyllic lifestyle for the artistic couple. The White Mountain Echo in the 1880s reported that Mrs. Selinger painted florals and socialized at her studio at the Glen House and “received every afternoon, surrounded by her own beautiful pictures of roses and chrysanthemums.” The Selingers offered paintings for sale to hotel guests; in an age when photography was in its infancy, there was little to remember a White Mountain vacation except in memory. But when the Selingers arrived on the scene, a guest could purchase paintings of area scenes that the talented couple had captured on canvas. Not only were the Selingers artists, they also were, according to Consuming Views, at the center of the hotel’s social and literary life. (This was at the Crawford House, where they served as artists in residence after 1894.) However, other female artists resided and sometimes taught classes at more modest hotels and inns in the area. Another famous artist, Frank H. Shapleigh of Boston, painted in the White Mountains for about 15 years beginning in the late 1870s. Among his well-known paintings are views of Mount Washington. The Metropolitan Museum of Art received a painting of the White Mountains, when “Madison and Adams from Randolph Hill” was donated to the museum in 1891. The painting was done by Homer Martin, another artist

NH Outside with Emma Protect Your Trees During Construction By Emma Erler Trees offer a number of important benefits to the landscape, which is why many people want to try to save them during construction projects. A mature shade tree can have a cooling effect on the surrounding landscape in the summer and act as a windbreak in the winter months, reducing heat loss from homes. Trees can also prevent runoff and limit erosion, especially on sloped areas. Above all, trees are beautiful and make people feel good. It’s easy to become attached to large trees that have been part of the landscape for decades, and wanting to protect and save them during construction is a natural reaction. Unfortunately, this is a difficult

• Yesteryear continued from page 16 who summered in the mountains. Although difficult to imagine from today’s modern viewpoint, during the 1800s the White Mountains were still largely unsettled. While there were hamlets and towns, such as Conway, trails and crude roads linked mountain communities. The artists who came to the area during those years had to be prepared physically, as well as emotionally, for life in the wild. Hiking was the primary means of getting to

task that requires careful consideration and planning in order to be successful. Assess Tree Health Before putting any effort into trying to save a landscape tree, you need to determine whether it is worth saving. It costs far more to remove a tree that is next to a structure than from an open lot. In many cases it might be more cost effective to cut down an old tree that is adjacent to a construction project and replace it with a new, younger tree. For a tree to be a good candidate for preservation it needs to be healthy and vigorous without any significant structural defects. It also needs to be located far enough away from the building site for the majority of the root system to remain unharmed. Consider having

the natural scenes everyone wanted to catch on paper and canvas. That meant not only hiking through miles of wilderness, but also camping out in the forests and seeking lodgings at a rural farm along the way. (Not all were as lucky as the Selingers to serve at artists in residence, with an indoor studio and comfortable lodgings.) Still, artists continued to come to the mountains for a chance to set down their visions of the beauty around them. They sensed the spirituality of the area, and created an entire culture and method of painting.

Certain trees are very sensitive to root disturbance and are not typically good candidates to try to save. This list includes: oak, white pine, sugar maple, beech, hemlock, black walnut and tulip tree. Other species are quite tolerant, such as: river birch, black gum, crabapple, honey locust, larch, red maple, sycamore, Norway spruce and white spruce. This is hardly a complete list, and an arborist will be able to give a better estimate of a tree’s chances of survival. Construction Injury Obvious injuries like broken branches and torn bark usually aren’t nearly as serious as damage to tree roots. Trees often die several years after construction, or else have thinning crowns that correlate with root injury. Thus, protecting the tree’s root system is the most important thing that can be done, and it starts with understanding where tree roots are located and how they function. Though artists often draw tree roots extending deep into the soil, that’s not an accurate picture of how roots actually grow. Almost all tree roots can be found in the top 6-24 inches of soil. Just one large taproot extends deeper into the soil, providing the tree with stability. The rest of the roots extend

outward to take up water and nutrients, going out at least as far as the tree is tall, possibly even twice that distance. Roots are damaged when they are cut or with compaction or by changing the grade. Cutting roots usually occurs on just one side while excavating or digging trenches for utilities, which can make trees unstable and prone to blow-down in storms. Compaction of the soil around the roots can be just as devastating. It is well-known that plants “breathe in” carbon dioxide and release oxygen, but that only occurs in the green, above-ground tissues. Roots beneath the ground need to take in oxygen. When the soil is compacted by continuous foot traffic or heavy machinery, there are few pore spaces remaining that can hold oxygen. Along these same lines, water does not percolate very well into compacted soils, keeping roots from getting the moisture they need. Additionally, changing the grade of the land around a tree can also cause issues by smothering roots with too much soil or exposing them. How to Save Trees Once you have assessed the health of a tree, and considered the ways it might be damaged during construction, you can go about making a plan for how to save it. First and foremost, it is important to protect as much of the root zone as possible. A healthy tree

may survive if at least 60-70 percent of its root zone is unaffected. A good practice is to avoid doing any work within the tree’s dripline — the area between the trunk and the reach of its furthest-most branches. Look to follow these guidelines to give trees the best chance of survival. • Install fencing around the root zone to keep vehicles and workers away. The fencing should extend at least to the dripline – the further the better. A more accurate way of determining where to put the fence is to measure the diameter of the tree 4.5 feet off the ground (diameter at breast height, DBH). For every inch of trunk diameter, extend protection by a foot. For example, if a tree is 10 inches in diameter, fencing should be located at least 10 feet away from the trunk. • Do not drive heavy machinery over the root zone. • Minimize foot traffic in the area and, if unavoidable, build boardwalks or lay down sheets of plywood to limit compaction. • Do not store building materials over the roots. • Do not change the grade of the site near the tree. Avoid exposing tree roots within the dripline and do not cover roots with extra soil. • Use permeable pavers in walkways or patios that allow rainwater to percolate into the soil beneath. • Do not wash equipment or dump

chemicals over the roots. Make sure road runoff isn’t going to be directed to the tree with grading changes. Exposure to road salt can kill or further stress trees. • Water during and after construction whenever there is less than one inch of rainfall in a week. • Aerate and fertilize if necessary. • Apply mulch over the roots to conserve soil moisture. • Keep a close eye on the canopy for signs of dieback. When roots are injured there is typically a corresponding loss of branches aboveground. This can occur several years after the initial injury. Have an arborist prune out dead and weak branches to remove hazardous conditions. Ultimately, saving mature trees during construction is not easy, but it is possible with care. Large trees can’t be replaced, so sometimes they are worth the effort. (Courtesy of UNH Extension, Ask UNH Extension.

Castle in the Clouds will host a 1920s night on August 25; the Castle is a member of the NH Heritage Museum Trail.

Castle Dinner and Dancing on the New Hampshire Heritage Trail Aside from special programs, exhibits, virtual and in-person tours, the New Hampshire Heritage Museum Trail often features special events that provide visitors with unique experiences. On Wednesday, August 25, Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough will take people back 100 years to the 1920s for a night of Gatsby-era music, dancing and fun to support restoration of the historic Lucknow estate. In addition to live music, the event will feature a buffet dinner and a live auction, which includes eight unique Castle experiences. “People often express that when they visit the Castle and grounds, they feel like they could live here,” said Executive Director Charles Clark. “Offering opportunities to experience more private moments at Castle in the Clouds

gives auction winners a taste of what it was like living here and the lifestyle that Tom and Olive Plant enjoyed in the early-to-mid 1900s.” To purchase tickets, or learn more about the auction (and experiences) or museum, visit castleintheclouds.org.
