Despite frigid January temperatures, a dozen people participated in the annual West Hill Dam Wild Winter Walk, Jan. 15.
Excitedly clutching animal tracking cards, participants set off to see what creatures were crawling around the dam during winter time. “In addition to the animal tracking cards, we went as a group to bush-whack and go off-trail and looked for clues we could find about what animals are active in winter,” said West Hill Dam Park Ranger Viola Bramel.

The 2016 Operations Division Training was held on Oct. 25-27 at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, a research facility operated by the U.S. Forest Service in North Woodstock, New Hampshire, situated within the White Mountain National Forest.
During his remarks, Scott Acone, Deputy District Engineer for Programs/Project Management, said the research conducted at Hubbard Brook on watersheds and hydrology influenced the engineering and construction of the flood control dams in New England.
The goal of the annual training was to increase the operational knowledge and situational awareness of the Natural Resource Management staff working at the flood control and navigation projects as well as the associated parks.
