Registration for this event is free.

Eat on the wild side
Walking around in nature, it can feel tempting to want to try and forage some of the natural fruits and leaves, but it can be challenge to identify what is safe to consume.
Those who share this difficulty, can join Dartmouth Natural Resource Trust Development and Outreach Special Kendra Parker on a walk through Slocum’s River Reserve, at 320 Horseneck Road, Saturday, June 8 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. where she will point out a variety of edible plants that grow on the property.
This event costs $10 per person. Register online now: https://dnrt.org/product/wild-edibles-walk/.

Find treasures at yard sales
They wanted it and it happened — the second annual Community-wide Yard Sale will take place this year over the June 8 and 9 weekend. 
In addition to a full list of participating yard sales, the group also created an emoji-coded spreadsheet that details the type of items available at each sale, which is available through the groups Facebook page. An interactive map made with Google maps will be made available as the event date gets closer.
