Three years ago, Dana and local partners launched Future Talk, an innovative program that helps inner-city youth experience and protect nature.

As I drive, I will often appreciate the first glimpse of Mt. Kearsarge through the fields on my left and the bucolic scene of grazing animals in the pasture on my right.
