Announcements

ArtisTree Community Arts Center in South Pomfret, Vermont, is exhibiting Xavier Cortada’s series “Water Paintings” through Saturday, July 14. Cortada created these works, which he says “give water at Hubbard Brook’s nine watersheds a voice,” at HBEF during the summer of 2016. The artist will be present at the closing reception on July 14 from 5-7 pm.

Archived issues of the Hubbard Brook Monthly are now available on the Hubbard Brook website under the “News and Events” tab (thank you, Mary!): https://hubbardbrook.org/hubbard-brook-monthly-view
Ahead of the Cooperators' Meeting, we've started putting together a glossary of terms for those new to Hubbard Brook (based on a previous edition that circulated in 2013). It's a bare-bones list at this point, so please feel free to make contributions to the Google Doc (especially if you anticipate giving a jargon-/acronym-heavy presentation!)

Thank you for reading!
