Love Your Mother Earth Art Auction

UNH Extension invites nature and art enthusiasts to bid on one-of-a-kind paintings by New Hampshire artist James Trask in the online Love Your Mother Earth Art Auction April 18-28, 2022. Trask, who grew up in Keene and graduated from UNH’s forestry program in 1964, passed away in 2008. His nephew, Norman Spicher, donated Trask’s collection to benefit two Extension volunteer programs that support the outdoors – Natural Resources Stewards and the NH Coverts Project.

Natural Resources Stewards is a program sponsored by UNH Cooperative Extension, NH Division of Forests and Lands and the USFS Forest Service. Natural Resources Stewards are community volunteers of all ages and walks of life. The program offers a comprehensive training and volunteer support network for people who love the outdoors and want to learn, explore and share the nature of New Hampshire.

The NH Big Tree Program measures the biggest trees in the state. It is sponsored by UNH Cooperative Extension, NH Division of Forests and Lands and the Society of the Protection of NH Forests.

The NH Coverts Project trains volunteers in wildlife conservation, forest stewardship and effective outreach. NH Coverts volunteers are landowners, local decision-makers, teachers, business people, writers, retirees – anyone who wants to help wildlife in New Hampshire.  NH Coverts Project is sponsored by UNH Cooperative Extension and NH Fish and Game, with support from the NH Division of Forests and Lands.
