The Peoples Forest — The Story of the White Mountain National Forest is a David Huntley film.
In the late 1800s, New Hampshire’s White Mountains were ground zero for an environmental disaster caused by ruthless logging and the massive forest fires, erosion and flooding that followed. The vast destruction launched a national battle over the fate of America’s forestlands and sparked one of the first grassroots conservation movements. Leading the way was a unique partnership of citizens, politicians, and business and civic groups that believed conservation could benefit both the environment and economy.
This is the dramatic story of how those unlikely allies saved the White Mountains and created over 50 new National Forests and Grasslands in 40 states, totaling more than 20 million acres of public lands.
The evening programs are free and open to the public. Call to find out more or to be added to the monthly email list: (603) 466-2721 or outdoors.org/pinkhamhappenings.
Accomplished hikers Lori and Mike Innes share their stories and photos of their adventures hiking New Hampshire’s 4,000 Footers.

Mark Mandeville and Raianne Richards are clearly inheritors of a timeless legacy, creating music that is both original and evocative of a rich tradition. Blending distinctive voices and a wide range of accompaniment (guitar, harmonica, ukulele, clarinet, penny whistle, electric bass), their songs have been well received by audiences around the eastern United States since 2010. Transcending the genre of folk Americana, their music echoes inspiration from traditional folk duos and singer/songwriters like Ian & Sylvia, Kate Wolf and Neil Young — combining beautiful harmonies and a lyrical intensity, while establishing a unique sound of their own.
Tickets cost $12 and are available at the Gorham Town Hall, online at www.medallionoperahouse.org or at the door.
