Salt Marsh Walk

The Hampton Young Democrats are sponsoring a free guided salt marsh walk. Ellen Goethel, a zoologist, conservationist, and the owner of Explore the Ocean World Oceanarium at Hampton Beach, will lead the tour. Ellen will teach us about the salt marsh’s plant life and animal habitat and how the marsh acts as a sponge - a critical natural resource to lower flood impacts.

The Hampton Young Democrats invite people of all ages to participate. The physical exertion for the trip is modest, but participants should be steady on their feet. Careful walking and some jumping is required.

Space is limited, so please sign up today.

Town Deliberative Session

There is little more exciting in this world than a New Hampshire town’s deliberative session. Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration. But it is extremely important.

Big decisions can be made. Remember when Libertarians in Croydon cut that town’s school budget by more than 50%? They did it at the town meeting because responsible people did not attend in sufficient numbers!

Let’s protect our schools, our infrastructure, and town budgets that include first responders.
