THANKS go to the people who 

 worked at the NHPGA booth at 

 Farm & Forest: to Roger Warren, 

 who wrote and was in charge of 

 production of the three fliers; to 

 Bob Demers and Chris Robarge, for 

 setting up and dismantling the 

 booth; to the Huntingtons for plant 

 material. A large number of people 

 attended this year's event and the 

 attractive presentation was defi- 

 nitely worth the effort. 



Available: 



A Publication; 



Selecting Trees for Urban Landscape 

 Ecosystems: Hardy Species for Northern 

 New England, a publication from the 

 NH State Division of Forests and 

 Lands, is now available. 



Compiled and written by Mary 

 K. Reynolds, Urban Forester, and 

 Raymond M. Boiven, Regional For- 

 ester, this book gathers information 

 on over 150 cold-tolerant trees — 

 both native and exotic — appropri- 

 ate to New Hampshire's climate 

 and should be useful to landscap- 

 ers and operators of both whole- 

 sale nurseries and retail garden 

 centers. 



This book is initially available at 

 no cost and can be obtained by 

 writing Mary Reynolds at the NH 

 Department of Resources & Eco- 

 nomic Development, Division of 

 Forests & Lands, i 72 Pembroke Rd, 

 PO Box 856, Concord, NH 03301. 



Training Videos; 



Four 120-minute videos designed 

 to supplement the Pesticide Appli- 

 cator Training Manual have been 

 taped, edited, and printed and are 

 available for loan (for a returnable 

 deposit of $5.) at all county exten- 

 sion offices. There are also tapes 

 available for each of the categories. 



Taping has been going on over 

 the last three months in the Chan- 

 nel 1 1 Studios in Durham. 



All this seems like a lot of view-
