NASHUA – Did you know that the snowy owl is a bird of the Arctic tundra, but in the winter, you can see one right here in New England if you know where to look? Join the Nashaway Chapter of the N.H. Audubon Society in their search for wintering owls. The public is welcome to join this day trip to Salisbury Beach and Parker River National Wildlife Refuge in Northern Massachusetts on Sunday from 8 a.m.-3 p.m.

To carpool, meet at the Exit 7 Park and Ride. To meet at the destination and to register, contact Richard Bielawski at 429-2537 or rbielawski@mac.com. There is a $5 fee per car.

If you are more interested in finding out just what toll the 2008 ice storm had on forests, join John Nute, extension forester in Hillsborough County, as he talks about “Concerns for New Hampshire Forest Health, Mother Nature, Bugs and Ws!” on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Nashua Public Library. No registration is necessary.
