SUMMARY:Everybody's Trash
DESCRIPTION:Everybody’s Trash is an engaging and thought-provoking presentation by Duncan Watson\, author of the award-winning book Everyone’s Trash. Drawing on more than 33 years working in municipal waste management with the City of Keene\, Watson takes audiences behind the scenes of recycling\, refuse\, and the often unseen systems that shape our daily lives. \nBlending personal storytelling\, humor\, and practical insight\, Watson traces his journey from a childhood recycling attendant to a leader who helped build a nationally recognized waste management facility in southwestern New Hampshire. His talk explores the history and current realities of waste disposal in the United States while emphasizing the deeply human side of the work—highlighting the people\, values\, and community connections found even at the “dump.” \nMore than a technical discussion\, Everybody’s Trash is a reflection on civic responsibility and shared stewardship. Watson challenges audiences to rethink their relationship with waste\, demonstrating that ambitious goals—like diverting up to 80% of materials from landfills—are achievable without increasing costs. The presentation leaves listeners informed\, inspired\, and empowered to see waste not as an individual problem\, but as a collective opportunity for connection\, compassion\, and community action. \nWho is Duncan Watson? \nDuncan Watson grew up in Northern California but found his home in New England\, where he earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of New Hampshire and a master’s in Resource Management from Antioch University New England. As Assistant Director of Public Works for the City of Keene\, NH\, Watson has seen firsthand the challenges and opportunities of modern recycling and waste management. \nFor more on Watson’s remarkable life and his new book\, follow him on Instagram and Facebook: @duncanwatsonstoryteller. \nFree Admission \nEnfield Shaker Museum is offering this program in collaboration with Enfield Public Library. This program will be held at the Library – 23 Main Street\, Enfield\, NH 03748

SUMMARY:History of Fiber Arts in NH: A Lecture by Patty Williams
DESCRIPTION:History of Fiber Arts in NH:\nA Lecture by Patty Williams\nFriday\, November 14th\, 2025\n6:00 – 7:00pm\nTHIS LECTURE HAS BEEN CANCELLED. Thank you for your understanding.\nLocal fiber farmer and fiber artist Patty Williams grew up in New Hampshire\, the fiber arts\, and farming. In this lecture she will combine all three taking us on a tour of time from earliest known techniques\, fibers used\, and fiber in New Hampshire today. Patty is known for throwing in juicy tidbits of fun facts. What famous people wore Londonderry Linen? The New Hampshire Sheep Craze? And the Shaker’s did what? She will answer all of these and more. \nQuestions to follow the presentation. \nWho is Patty Williams? \nPatty Williams is the owner of Aker Fiber Farm located in Enfield Center\, NH. She began working with fiber arts as a young girl with her aunt and mom in Walpole\, NH. She learned how to crochet\, wash fleeces\, draft\, or treadle\, and card wool along with tying her shoes. She began Aker Fiber Farm part time after leaving the Army with her husband in Virginia. They then purchased the flock that had been supplying their fleeces and moved everyone to New Hampshire where Patty added Shepherd to her resume. Aker Fiber Farm has evolved into a Farm to Yarn Company providing flax to linen and fleece to yarn to customers all over the US and Canada.\nPatty began teaching fiber arts without even realizing that was what she was doing. Always wanting to share her passion\, she taught friends how to crochet and knit while in grade school and continued as she gathered more skills and moved around the country. Today\, she travels up and down the east coast teaching workshops and giving lectures on Shepherding skills\, flax\, linen\, spinning\, fiber prep\, dyeing\, and knitting. Her favorite students are folks that “never thought they could”\, as Patty believes everyone CAN!\nAdvanced Registration Required. Please RSVP by November 11th\, 2025. Limited to 60 people. \nThe lecture will take place in the Meeting Room of the Great Stone Dwelling\, which is on the second floor. There is no elevator\, due to the historical nature of the building. \nComing from a distance? Stay at our historic Great Stone Dwelling. Check our room availability here.

The archeological evidence of a late 18th to early 19th-century structure located on the West Family farmstead of the Watervliet Shaker Community provides an opportunity to explore Shaker tobacco pipes and their cultural and religious significance for community members.  Smoking was common for both male and female members until the practice was banned in the 1850s. \n \nCost: \nNo admission cost\, but advanced registration required. \nComing from a distance?

SUMMARY:Becoming Wolf Talk with Chris Schadler
DESCRIPTION:Becoming Wolf Talk\nwith Chris Schadler\n2:00 – 4:00 PM\nFree Admission\nAn eastern coyote is defined as much by its western coyote ancestry as by the DNA contribution from the Eastern wolf. Coyotes in the northeast vary physically and behaviorally from its smaller western relative – while still carrying their incredible adaptability. This program delves into the ecology and behavior of this creature\, its indefatigability and how it is the human who must adapt to live with the coyote. \nOn the horizon\, however\, is a native carnivore which fled the northeast during wolf removal and now may be trying to return: The eastern wolf. A look-alike to the coyote\, it has been killed mistakenly for its similarity of appearance to the coyote. We’ll talk about how the wolf and coyote might negotiate a truce in the northeast and how we might do the same. \n  \nMore About Chris Schadler: \nChris earned a Masters in Conservation Biology at Antioch University Graduate School. Her thesis focused on the natural recovery of the Eastern Timber Wolf in Michigan. \nWhile wolf recovery was the focus of her early work\, Chris’ attention shifted to the eastern coyote when she moved to New England in the 1980s. She chose a farm beset with coyote problems to raise sheep and train her border collies. Using sound livestock management and common sense\, she [and her sheep] avoided any predation. \nBeginning in the early 1990s\, Chris taught in the Dept of Natural Resources at the University of New Hampshire and instructed and mentored adult degree candidates in the UNH System at Granite State College. \nChris recently co-founded the NH Wildlife Coalition\, is the NH and VT Representative for Project Coyote and Chairs the Webster Conservation Commission. She continues to research coyote feeding patterns in Coos County and enjoys life without sheep. \nThis event is brought to you by the collaborative efforts of Enfield Shaker Museum and Enfield Public Library. \nComing from a distance? Stay overnight in the Great Stone Dwelling! Accommodations.
