The Wilderness First Aid (WFA) is the perfect course for the outdoor enthusiast, or trip leader, who wants a basic level of first aid training for short trips with family, friends, and outdoor groups. The WFA is 16 hours long (two full days). This course is open to anyone over 16 years old. The total course cost is $200 and includes a lunch both days.

This 16-hour Wilderness First Aid course provides students with an introductory understanding to wilderness first aid. Hands-on course labs, scenarios, practicals and repetition ensure students are engaged and learning for the duration of the course. SOLO courses combine multiple styles of learning to help you learn and remember course information after the course is complete.

The SRK Greenway is excited to bring this class to the community. This is a great program for anyone who regularly enjoys the outdoors and would like a strong foundation in basic first aid.

SRK Greenway 30th Anniversary

Celebrate the SRK Greenway’s 30th Anniversary with us!

Sunday, Sept. 24th at Winslow State Park
— rain or shine —

Start your celebration with a hike up to the summit of Mount Kearsarge (2,937 ft), the highest peak on the SRK Greenway. Or take a hike to the remote Morey Pond in the Kearsarge Wildlife Management Area. Both group hikes start from the Winslow State Park picnic area at noon.

If you can’t make the group hikes — at least join us for the party at 2pm! All hikers are meant to meet back at the Winslow State Park Pavillion for a picnic/tailgate celebration. This will be a casual, pot-luck affair in the middle of the afternoon. Please bring something to share. All are welcome.

SRK Greenway’s 30th Anniversary

The Sunapee-Ragged-Kearsarge Greenway Coalition was incorporated in 1993. For the past 30 years, this all-volunteer, non-profit organization has maintained a 75-mile trail network offering public access to the mountains, lakes, forests and historical sites of the region. Come celebrate the success of this wonderful local resource!

In the mid 1980’s a small group of creative individuals came together to formulate a plan. This early group included individuals from the Society for the Protection of NH Forests (SPNHF), Lake Sunapee Protective Association (LSPA), Ausbon Sargent Land Preservation Trust (ASLPT) and several other local conservationists. This early group laid the groundwork to create a Hiking Trail network – the Greenway – through ten towns: Andover, Danbury, Goshen, Newbury, New London, Springfield, Sunapee, Sutton, Warner and Wilmot.

Please join us on Sunday, September 24th to honor those early SRK Pioneers who were instrumental in the development of the Greenway. All SRK memorabilia and trail stories are encouraged.
