Learn how local homeowners transformed their lawn into a vibrant meadow. Part of the 2026 Natural NH series at Peterborough Town Library.

This presentation will provide an example of how homeowners converted a lawn to a native meadow. The presenters will describe the process and the resulting meadow, and how the lessons learned were applied in New Hampshire. Attendees will receive free native wildflower seeds.

About the Presenters:

They are Land Stewards for the Forest Society in New Hampshire and spent 15 years as volunteer trail workers on the Appalachian Trail in the Mid-Atlantic. The Clarks have worked with federal, state, and local land managers across three states on forest health. Since 2024, they have sponsored the Natural NH speaker series at the Peterborough Town Library.
