At LEAF we made some new friends, saw some familiar faces, raised money and awareness, and enjoyed good music, food, and displays! Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth or helped out. A special thanks to our sponsor, Wells River Bank, and the wonderful people and business who donated to our silent auction!

The Calendar Is Ready and Available -

Click the above picture to view all posters by grade!

The Conservation Commission and the Newbury Elementary School worked on a joint project involving sustainability and education.  As tomorrow’s community leaders, we know that the students of NES play a vital role in moving towards a sustainable future.  Students in each grade created pictures around sustainability themes and methods of conservation.  Their messages covered a wide range topics, from “walk or ride a bike” to the “importance of biodiversity”.

The students all did an excellent job!  Fourteen of the pictures were made into a calendar.

These academic year calendars are now available for a donation to the Conservation Commission of just $12.00 and are located at the Newbury Village Store, The Tenney Library, or by e-mailing the Commission directly.

You can also view  a slideshow of all posters on our “Map and Pictures” page.

Thanks NES for your interest in this project and your willingness to take advantage of this opportunity to tie together education, community, and sustainability!
