Guest speaker Steve Soreff presents a program called “Wilderness Speaks.”
The wilderness represents renewal, beauty, challenge, adventure and self-discovery. It speaks in many ways: the sun radiates energy; the rocks tell time; water allows life; the trees are witness to the ages; and the birds announce the day. In this interactive presentation you’ll have a chance to hear the unique voices of the wilderness.
Highland Happenings programs are free and open to all, and begin at 7:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Call to find out more or to be added to our monthly email list: (603) 278-4453 or outdoors.org/highlandhappenings.

Trouble in the Presidentials: What a Mountaineering Accident Can Teach Us About Decision Making and Managing Risk
Although strikingly beautiful, Mount Washington and the surrounding Presidential Range hold the dubious distinction of having “the world’s worst weather.” The Presidential Range is also world-renowned for the challenging terrain it provides for alpinists, and as such has been the scene of hundreds of mountaineering accidents over the years. Certified Wilderness First Responder Ty Gagne will provide an in-depth analysis of a recent tragedy on the range and extend those lessons and others learned above tree-line into people’s roles as outdoor enthusiasts, and in their day-to-day lives.
All programs held on Thursdays at 7 p.m. (unless otherwise noted) in the Summit Lodge’s Great Room. Attendance is free and the public is invited to all programs. Call (603) 788-4004 for confirmation of dates and topics.
