What's native? What's not? The yellow flowers in these photos bloom at the same time, and could easily be confused with one another.
But one of these species is a type of native evening primrose, and the other is a non-native yellow loostrife, a species which has been classified, by multiple states, as invasive.

Got this? This is young Knotw**d. Notice the spade shaped leaves and noded stem.

If this pops up in your yard, you can dig it out the FIRST year. after that, digging and cutting will likely spread and invigorate it. It's one of the few plants that doesn't have a definite successful non-chemical management option. The roots can grow 10 feet deep, and any root fragments left over may well resprout.

Calling all citizens! The MCC needs members of the public to join a subcommittee to manage our Fields Farm property! Subcommittees meet at town hall anywhere from once a month to once a quarter, as well as attending periodic work-days on the properties.

We encourage all interested and curious citizens to review the description of the property, and the excerpts of the Forest Stewardship Plan included in this post. The Stewardship plan is available in full on our website.

If you are interested in helping us, please send a letter of interest to the office of Community Development ([email protected], or drop off at community development office around the back of town hall).

We wanted to repost this video with some updated photos of multiflora rose in bloom.

Yes, it's beautiful. But this is not it's home, and it's a big threat to our native plant and animal species.

🎣 Cast a line and enjoy New Hampshire’s Free Fishing Day this Saturday!

Residents and non-residents can fish anywhere in the state for the day without a license. It’s a great way for anglers of all skill levels to get outside with family and friends and see what makes fishing in the Granite State so special.

A reminder, wherever you go, be :
✔️ Know the rules and regulations: all fishing rules still apply
✔️ Have a backup fishing spot in mind if your first stop is crowded
✔️ Respect wildlife, private property, and fellow anglers
✔️ Wear a life jacket and leave no trace

Help keep New Hampshire wild and welcoming for everyone. 🌲💧 NH Fish and Game
