Chapman Sanctuary and Visny Woods Chapman Sanctuary and Visny Woods is located at 740 Mt Israel Road in picturesque Sandwich, New Hampshire. There is plenty of free parking and room to prepare yourself for a lovely day on the trails. CSVW is sending some warm thoughts your way as we announce the date for our 2025 Annual Bird Walk! We hope you will put this fun event on your calendar for spring. Saturday • May, 10 2025 at 7:30 am at the Chapman Sanctuary and Visny Woods, 740 Mt Israel Road, Center Sandwich, NH 03227. LED BY: Wildlife Biologist, Christine Costello To check the website for trail conditions and other news Check the CSVW Website Trails page https://www.chapmansanctuaryvisnywoods.com/ Mud Season Trail Update Each year the Squam Lakes Association, in conjunction with landowners who allow public access to their land, temporarily closes sensitive trails around Squam. As the snow melts, muddy conditions force hikers to move off the trails and onto the softer ground on the side. This loosens rocks, weakens trees, and creates erosion. In order to protect the network, please avoid hiking on closed trails until we reopen them when conditions dry up! The following trails are CLOSED as of 3/21: Rattlesnake network, Squam Range, Mt. Morgan Trail, Mt. Percival Trail, Crawford Ridgepole Trail, and Cotton Mountain Trail. Here are some alternative hikes that are OPEN while you wait: Belknap Woods, Whitten Woods, Chamberlain Reynolds Memorial Forest, Red Hill, Castle in the Clouds. Mountain Side Sauna, Opening Day Saturday, April 19th at 3pm. Donation based event (if you can give more, please do to help in holding those who cannot). Pay upon arrival. Join in on a day of Connection, Sauna and Cold Plunging in North Sandwich at Sacred Nectar Sanctuary! Sacred Nectar Sanctuary sits on 290 acres at the base of Mt. Whiteface and provides an immersed nature experience for those desiring to reconnect back with themselves and nature. The Sauna will be hot at 3pm. Sauna and plunging will be guided and held by Polly Mahoney & Annie Provenzano from our neighboring town, Tamworth. For Polly and Annie, cold and heat are spiritual teachers. Their adventures in the world of intense temperature led them to share their passion for connecting with nature in new ways. They formed the Tamworth Otters, a local cold water dipping group and love supporting others as they get to know these elements on their own terms. Starting May, they will be hosting Sauna at Sacred Nectar on the 2nd Sunday of every month. This is a family friendly event! We will have a fire crackling, inviting all who wish to sit around it and be in good conversation. Please bring snacks/drinks for sharing. Children are welcome to run and play on the land. We have short and easy hiking trails available for exploring on the main grounds. We invite everyone to bring drums, rattles, songs, prayers, stories and whatever else calls to your heart to share during our time together. Corner House Restaurant Spring Hours: Tuesday through Thursday, 4 – 9 Friday 4 – 10 Saturday and Sunday 12 – 10 Friday evenings from 6 till 9, the Corner House hosts fantastic local musicians in the pub: Friday, April 18 – Another Story 22 Main Street, Sandwich, NH 03227, email: [email protected] (603) 284-6219 Foothills Café and Curio After a brief break, Foothills is open again!

May Contradance The Sandwich Jam musicians are hosting another Family/ Community contradance on Saturday May 3, 6:30 to 8:30pm at Sandwich town hall. This is our second fundraiser for the town hall piano. Eric came to tune "Patti Piano" a few weeks ago and he was able to bring her voice partway to pitch. This is because it had been sooooo... long since she had been tuned, maybe at least 10 years. One more tuning by this professional is required to get her "up to snuff". This family dance is both kid-centric and easy for adults, too. No experience needed. If you're looking for an inexpensive fun family activity, all kids under 12 are free. Suggested donation is $4 per person. Dances will be taught and listeners are welcome, too. This is a wonderful New England tradition that is enjoying a revival especially among the young 'uns. And, it's live music by local musicians! Win/win! Email Christine Woodman at [email protected] if you have any questions. Banjo Gathering From Christina Woodman: “Yes we're still gathering at the Sandwich Town Hall every other Thursday to play our banjos on our knees. 6:30 to 8pm; Simple, easy, no pressure..... not a lesson, just a get together to learn from each other and try some cool stuff.” Contact [email protected] for more information. Music Jam Hello, beginner to intermediate musicians. This is a reminder that we gather every Wednesday from 6:30 to 8pm at the Sandwich town hall for a free, fun-filled music jam.

Should you wish more information or if you have questions, please contact [email protected]. A Look Back Sandwich Historical Society Director Jim Mykland has pulled together some interesting entries from the Sandwich Reporter (1883-1944). Here are some samples. Grab your favorite beverage, settle down in your favorite reading spot, and enjoy! You can find more at sandwichhistorical.org/miscellany-and-mystery.html . April 19, 1900: ~Sapping is over with less than an average yield recorded in most orchards, though the quality is first class. ~The snow has been going quite fast week, and in many places the road is getting quite dry. ~Nathaniel Burrows, who died April 10, 1900, was born in Lebanon, Me., Aug. 8, 1835. In early life he was in the shoe business in Milton, N.H. where he met Sarah D. Thompson whom he married on June 13, 1856. On May 13, 1858 he moved to Sandwich on to the farm where he spent the remainder of his life. He was one of the most extensive and successful farmers and largely engaged in the purchase and sale of stock, of which he was a rare judge. Straightforward and honest in his business transactions he thoroughly detested and deviation from those qualities in others. He was a good citizen, a kind neighbor and in his family relations was all that a kind husband and loving father could be. 2 Basket Street Yoga Led by Molly Powers Simmons, and located at 2 Basket Street, Center Sandwich.

Advice To the Players The snow is melting, birds are chirping, and auditions have been held, which means just one thing: it's time for the annual...Bard's Birthday Fundraising Campaign! Once again, a gift to your favorite New Hampshire Shakespeare company is at the top of Mr. Shakespeare’s wishlist – but this time with a twist. A fun fact about running a theater company like this is that cash flow is radically different from quarter to quarter. Without getting into the nitty gritty, that pendulum makes some wide swings between income and expense throughout the year. A proven method for mitigating that inconsistency is by fostering a community of sustaining donors. Their monthly, automated contributions help us make sure we’re shipshape for our summer camps, our productions, our smaller scale programming, our education offerings, and more. The goal this year is to reach $1,000 in monthly contributions, and including the current core of sustaining donors, they’re nearly halfway there! For stepping into this innovative model of donating with us, Willy Shakes thinks you deserve a little gift, too. Anyone who pledges a new monthly gift this April will receive a personalized performance of a sonnet recorded by a member of our company – and we’re taking requests! To donate, visit advicetotheplayers.org and click on Bard’s Birthday Campaign; or, you may mail a check to: Advice To The Players PO Box 38 Center Sandwich, NH 03227 Sandwich Farmers Market Coming Soon The Sandwich Farmers Market will have a fresh new feel this summer!

Waxing Moon Gardens Waxing Moon’s latest newsletter is out: Here is an excerpt: “Farming season has officially begun in the Intervale. Signs of life are starting to pop up all around the farm. The spinach that overwintered in the field is looking green, the garlic is just beginning to poke through the mulch, and early spring flower bulbs are slowly emerging. Our seed starting area is jam packed with leeks, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, eggplant and kale. After the next couple chilly nights, some of the more established seedlings will be making their way out to the tunnel to make room for the next round of starts. We’ve been plotting to make some changes to our spring seeding area, as it seems we’ve outgrown the space!” You can sign up to receive news and updates about what’s growing on the farm at https://www.waxingmoongardens.com.

North Sandwich Friends North Sandwich Friends Meeting invites friends and neighbors to join their weekly Meeting for Worship from 10:00 to 11:00 am on Sunday at the North Sandwich Meetinghouse (354 Quaker Whiteface Rd., N Sandwich, NH 03259). Quakers, or “Friends,” have their roots in 17th century England. We have no explicit creed, nor does Quaker practice reflect a hierarchy among individuals. Believing that there is that of God in every person, Quakers welcome all who seek to join us in common spirit. Friends seek to live lives guided by six “testimonies”: Integrity, Simplicity, Peace, Equality, Community and Stewardship. Meeting for Worship is a time of quiet listening to the inner voice of spirit, God, the Light within –whatever term one uses—in community with others. We sit largely in silence for an hour; friends who are deeply moved to share an insight may rise and do so. Most Sundays, a very brief reading is offered reflecting Quaker values or history, which may provide a common focus for reflection. After the meeting, friends share individual reflections and announcements with each other. In the Round In the Round takes place Sundays at 8:45 – 10:30 am at the Benz Center, 18 Heard Road, Sandwich. In the Round, a community discussion group for the past 25 years, meets weekly in Sandwich. The topic is always thought-provoking and related to what people are thinking about these days. In the Round welcomes all points of view, reasonably and respectfully considered. Anyone who wishes to join in that spirit of dialog is invited. Various viewpoints are welcomed. Everyone is welcome.
