First, they talked with US Army Corps of Engineers Ranger Jason Tremblay about turtle biology and the turtle nesting habitat restoration project at MacDowell. Then, Harris Center Naturalist John Benjamin took the students to the nesting grounds to look for signs of activity.
The students found two snapping turtle nests and learned how to report this information to the NH Reptile and Amphibian Reporting Program (RAARP) at NH Fish & Game. New Hampshire has six native species of turtles, four of which are threatened or endangered.
“I never knew that turtles have to travel away from water to lay their eggs and risk getting hit by cars when they do that. It was so cool to see ways to make the habitat better for them,” said one student.

Codman and Wright graduated in May from Colby-Sawyer College with Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees. Both will begin their careers at the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock (CHaD) this August.
“It was super helpful. I really liked hearing about what college is like. It was nice to hear that everyone will feel out of place at first but it gets better after the first few weeks,” said junior Kaili Kozlowski.

When someone goes into sudden cardiac arrest, every second counts.
Robyn Birren, Director for School Engagement at the New Hampshire Chapter of the American Heart Association, recently visited ConVal to bring to the Careers in Education Program a train-the-trainer kit to help support "CPR In Schools," an initiative created by the American Heart Association in partnership with Dartmouth Health. "We hope that you will find this kit useful for years to come with your school and community," Birren said.
More than 1,600 people suffer from cardiac arrest each day in the U.S. Knowing CPR and how to use an AED could save their life. Or to put it in an even more personal perspective – someone next to you knowing these skills may save yours.

The tour is designed for students who are upper-level students (grades 10 and up) and have completed Spanish 2 by the end of fall semester 2023.
This will be a unique opportunity for students to explore the rich culture and history of this fascinating country. The tour will take them to the capital Madrid where they will witness the vibrant Spanish lifestyle firsthand while exploring the city's famous landmarks such as the Royal Palace, the Prado Museum, and the Puerta del Sol. The trip will also include a tour of the Andalusia region in the south, where students will experience the enchanting beauty of historic towns such as Seville, Granada, Ronda, and the Pueblos Blancos, the white villages nestled among the hills in the Andalusian mountains. The tour will give students the chance to learn about the country's rich cultural heritage while practicing their Spanish skills and making unforgettable travel memories.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please attend an orientation session on June 1, 2023 at 6:00 pm in the ConVal library. Questions? Please contact Señora Pacheco-McMahon at vmcmahon@conval.edu.
