This snug box provides a wonderful shelter for the 4-5 young nestlings as they grow.

Man-made nests were designed to help increase their numbers, with one installed at the Massabesic Center in 1997. By 1999, a nesting pair settled in, and this blind was built to help visitors quietly view their progress. The osprey population in New Hampshire has rebounded dramatically in recent years, although sadly, the osprey nest at the Massabesic Center blew over and was destroyed in a storm. The blind is now home to nesting songbirds and insects, and serves as a reminder of the power of conservation efforts.</SPAN></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"/></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;font-size:16px;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-size:16px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sit inside for a few moments and enjoy the views. Keep your eyes peeled for eagles, ospreys, and herons while you listen to the songbirds in the trees. Was that flash of light a fish jumping?

However, in the late proterozoic epoch massabesic gneiss was formed. This metamorphic rock consists of pink, foliated (thin layering) biotite granite intruding into slightly metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks.</SPAN></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"/></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;font-size:16px;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-size:16px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Massabesic Gneiss is very common here at Lake Massabesic and throughout Southern New Hampshire.</SPAN></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"/></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;font-size:18px;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><SPAN STYLE="font-size:18px;">The geologic maps show the bedrock that appears at the surface, or buried beneath the soft sediments and water at the surface.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><SPAN/></SPAN></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;font-size:18px;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><SPAN STYLE="font-size:18px;">Lake Massabesic is located towards the South-East (lower right) corner of the state, and is inside the yellow circle.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><SPAN/></SPAN></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;font-size:18px;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><SPAN STYLE="font-size:18px;">In the zoomed-in map, details of the massabesic gneiss are included.

They were once a 4-H teaching garden for groups to come and learn about native pollinators and other wildlife supported by these gardens. Once the gardens were well established, our strong base of volunteers began to take care of them, and In 2019, the Pollinator Garden was designed and installed under the direction of Master Gardeners George and Audrey Vargish.</SPAN></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"/></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;font-size:16px;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-size:16px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the spring, summer, and fall, the gardens are used for weddings. The beautiful backdrop of our wedding garden provides bright vibrant colors for the wedding ceremony. Another added bonus of our wedding gardens--and gardens in general--is they are filled with native plants, which provide pristine habitat for our native pollinators. </SPAN></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"/></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;font-size:16px;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-size:16px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are looking for a beautiful and peaceful spot for your wedding feel free to give the center a call to book your wedding today!</SPAN></DIV></BODY></HTML></div> htmlText_3F20E5BF_11C1_87E5_41A5_53154E06E126.html = <div style="text-align:left; color:#000; "><HTML><BODY><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;font-size:16px;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-size:16px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Earth Day in 1998, Cub Scouts broke ground and began work on the Bluebird Trail we see today. Then,100 bluebird boxes were constructed and installed by New Hampshire Parks Americorps members. By 1999 the trail was finished and opened to the public. Since then our Bluebird Monitoring Project team of volunteers have been collecting data on the bluebirds, tree swallows, and wrens that nest in the boxes. Highly visible, the boxes are protected from predators with nest shields installed on their bases. </SPAN></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"/></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;font-size:16px;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-size:16px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Bluebird Trail, which loops through all of our large fields, was originally designed to support declining populations of Eastern Bluebirds. The installation of managed bluebird boxes throughout NH Hampshire has been immensely successful over the years, leading to a rebound in bluebird population numbers.</SPAN></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"/></DIV><DIV STYLE="text-align:left;font-size:16px;"><SPAN STYLE="display:inline-block; letter-spacing:0px; white-space:pre-wrap;color:#000000;font-size:16px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Without the help of our amazing volunteers, this citizen science project wouldn’t be as effective nor comprehensive as it is today.
