The Summer Institute is part of the “Beacon Communities” pilot project, which has been working with Somersworth, Nashua, and Colebrook to advance community goals of creating healthy communities and increasing access to local foods. Located at UNH in Durham, the Summer Institute will include three days of team building, hands-on activities, practical skill building, and great food and fun! Read more.
