Step into the vibrant fall landscape of Brewster's Woods Wildlife Sanctuary, where mixed forests, open meadows, and riverside habitat create a haven for migrating birds. Take a leisurely guided walk through the sanctuary to look for woodpeckers and warblers flitting through the trees, raptors soaring in the sky, and ducks gliding over the marsh—the property was originally managed to create habitat for migrating waterfowl. Around every bend, the changing season reveals new sights and sounds as birds pause here on their southbound journey.

Half-bat, half-boy, ripped from the tabloid headlines, and thrust into the spotlight! In this camp horror comedy, a misunderstood monster seeks a place to belong. Taken in by a veterinarian, endeared to his adopted sister Shelly, and reviled by the locals, mild-mannered “Edgar” searches fiercely for a place he can truly be himself. Set to an eclectic pop-rock score by Laurence O'Keefe (Legally Blonde, Heathers the Musical), Edgar’s wild journey is a hilarious satire and an offbeat fable for the outsider in all of us.

Join the OARS Team and community members from across the watershed for a day of impact. Gather at your chosen site along one of our three rivers with your OARS staff and board site leaders to pick up trash and debris, restoring habitats and supporting safe access to our waterways. Cleanup equipment will be provided by OARS. All volunteers must register in advance and sign a volunteer waiver to participate.

In conjunction with their 15th anniversary, Artisans Way in Concord Center will be hosting Diane Whitman of Sandia East over the weekend of Sept 26-27 for a show and sale of Native American jewelry and craft.

She travels to the Southwest several times a year to hand-select hundreds of pieces of jewelry, accessories, and pottery and has been the exclusive source of Native American craft for Artisans Way since its opening in Concord in 2011.
