From its headwaters in March’s Pond in New Durham, the Cocheco River flows through five towns and cities on its path to Great Bay. Along the way, it winds through forests, along suburban backyards, and urban areas before joining the Salmon Falls in Dover. Home to some of the state’s highest quality habitats, the Cocheco is a wonderful river for fishing, boating, and wildlife watching.

The “Fall Paddle” returns for a eighth year! The Exeter River is a town treasure running through the middle of Brentwood.

Destination: Pickpocket Dam
Saturday September 26th

A lunch of hamburgers and hot dogs will be served, along with info on keeping the river healthy. From there participants may paddle back up river (very little current), or transportation will be available to drive those not wishing to do the return paddle back to Rowell Rd.

BioBlitz!

Sunday, Sep 20th, 11:00am

Seacoast Science Center

Rye, NH

(open in map)

Event Website

Come be a part of the science!!!

BioBlitz is Seacoast Science Center’s annual dawn-to-dusk biological survey of Odiorne Point State Park. Families and nature enthusiasts team up with SSC naturalists and guest experts to explore the Park’s habitats to find and identify as many different species as possible in just one day! BioBlitz is a great way to get kids (and adults!) excited about science, learn about biodiversity, and discover how you can help protect our natural world.

Like an extreme nature scavenger hunt, BioBlitz offers many opportunities for all ages to gain knowledge and hone skills in their favorite areas of nature! Habitat, plant, and animal explorations are scheduled throughout the day, allowing participants to choose among activities that interest them the most. With seven distinct natural habitats to survey, there’s something for everyone!

SSC’s Greg Interactive Learning Studio serves as the BioBlitz home base and is the field lab for the day. Here, you can observe some of the smallest species through microscopes, see amazing images of finds from years past, learn about the species identification process, and connect with scientists and expert naturalists.

In 2024, we found a total of 426 species, 14 of which were new to our list! That brings the total number of species identified since our first BioBlitz in 2003 to 2,402. This valuable catalog serves as a snapshot of the biodiversity of our region. Your participation and contributions to our data set will not only help us monitor biodiversity, but will also help us provide countless educational opportunities for school children, families, and groups.
