This afternoon we observed a pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) on a dead tree (cherry, I think) just south of the Pardoe building. This picture was taken from the back porch with a zoom lens.
Prescott Farm is a non-profit center that offers year-round environmental education for all ages. The 160-acre historic family farm is designated as an official New Hampshire Wildlife Viewing area, and offers visitors more than three miles of woodland, pond and field trails for hiking. Visitors can also explore a three-story historic barn, beautiful heritage and heirloom flower and vegetable gardens, and an old-fashioned maple sugar operation (in season)! The Samuel P. Pardoe Building incorporates high-performance building design features, including a geothermal heating and cooling system and solar-generated electricity.
We are located just minutes from downtown Laconia, and less than a mile from Weirs Beach. There is no admission charge, but donations are always welcome. Trails are open dawn to dusk.
