HOLDERNESS HUNTER EDUCATION CENTER NEEDS VOLUNTEERS 
OWL BROOK VOLUNTEER FAIR MARCH 12-13

HOLDERNESS, N.H. -- Find out how you can get involved as a volunteer at 
New Hampshire Fish and Game's Owl Brook Hunter Education Center in 
Holderness at a volunteer open house set for March 12 and 13, from 1 to 3 
p.m. each day. The session offers a chance to meet Owl Brook Manager 
Sean Williamson, get a tour of the new facilities and find out the many 
ways that volunteers pitch in to make Owl Brook a success. 

"We have a great community of committed volunteers who love what they 
do here at Owl Brook," Williamson said. "But with more activities than 
ever planned this year at the center, we could really use more helping 
hands."

Located on 500 acres of land off Perch Pond Road in Holderness, the Owl 
Brook Hunter Education Center teaches people in the knowledge and 
skills they need to become safe and responsible hunters, trappers, and 
stewards of the state's natural resources. Volunteers play a vital role in 
presenting this message to visitors and passing the heritages of hunting 
and trapping on to the next generation. Instructors are needed for 
hunter, bowhunter and trapper education. Volunteers also help with range 
supervision, trail and grounds maintenance, greeting visitors and leading 
group activities. Training will be provided.

Owl Brook was made possible through private donations and a grant 
derived from the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act, managed by the 
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. 

For more information on volunteering at the center, call (603) 536-1290 
or visit http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Hunting/hunter_ed_center.htm, 
where you can learn more about Owl Brook and print out a volunteer 
application. 

How to get to Owl Brook: From Route 175 in Holderness, turn onto 
Hardhack Road and travel east about 75 yards. Turn right onto Perch Pond Road 
and follow it for 1.8 miles. The entrance to the center will be on the 
left.
