Tin Mountain Nature Program with Paul Martin Brown
Wild Orchids of the Northeast
That You Will Never See in Your Back Yard!
Thurs, Sept 9th at 7 PM
Nature Learning Center on Bald Hill Road in Albany, NH.



Enjoy a virtual trip to far-flung, hidden, and/or perilous locales to enjoy photographs of the rarest of wild orchids at the Tin Mountain Conservation Center nature program, Wild Orchids of the Northeast. Enjoy an evening with renowned botanist and author Paul Martin Brown and artist Stan Folsom on Thursday, September 9th at 7 PM at the Nature Learning Center on Bald Hill Road in Albany, NH.

Come journey to observe the rarest wild orchids from the Pine Barrens of New Jersey to the cedar swamps of Aroostook County, Maine. Some of the wild orchid species on display include the eastern prairie fringed orchid, Platanthera leucophaea, known only in New England from Crystal Bog, Maine; the striped coralroot, Corallorhiza striata, known only in New York (and absent from New England) from Nelson Swamp; pale fringed orchis, P. pallida, known only from extreme eastern Long Island; Bayard’s adder’s-mouth, Malaxis bayardii, from Cape Cod; and the orange crested orchid, P. cristata, known from a single site in South Dartmouth, MA.

The Tin Mountain Nature Program Series is jointly sponsored by L.L. Bean, the Evenor Armington Fund and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (with whom Tin Mountain Conservation Center and many local landowners cooperate on a variety of land conservation measures from their office in Conway, NH). Cost to non-members is $3/person and $5/family; members are free. Tin Mountain Conservation Center is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit environmental, education organization serving the greater Mount Washington Valley through hands-on programs in schools, at summer camp and in the community.
