NHSaves Button Up Workshop Hosted by the Cornish & Plainfield Energy Committees
2024-04-16 18:30 | NH
Cornish and Plainfield: NHSaves Button Up, the popular home energy savings workshop series, is coming to Cornish and Plainfield. The Cornish and Plainfield Energy Committees are presenting this free workshop for residents and it will take place on Tuesday April 16th starting at 6:30 on Zoom. To register and get the zoom link go to https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUqd-qrrzMvGNx0TCAqqgOS43yx70NwIhMG if not redirected to the site click on the link. The workshop is sponsored by NHSaves and coordinated statewide by the Plymouth Area Renewable Energy Initiative (PAREI).

NHSaves is a collaboration of New Hampshire’s electric and natural gas utilities (Eversource, Liberty Utilities, NH Electric Cooperative and Unitil). The utilities are working together to provide NH customers with information, incentives, and support designed to save energy, reduce costs, and protect the NH environment. PAREI of Plymouth, NH is working with local groups around the state to bring these workshops to the public on behalf of New Hampshire’s utilities.

The NHSaves Button Up Workshop is a 1.5 hour plus Q&A presentation about how to improve the energy efficiency of your home. It is conducted by a certified energy auditor and covers basic building science principles as well as examples of whole house weatherization measures that will button up your home for the heating and cooling seasons. It also covers details about the energy efficiency programs offered by NH utilities (for existing homes and new construction) that provide energy audits, weatherization measures such as air sealing and insulating and rebates on new technologies and products such as electric and gas appliances and high efficiency electric heating/cooling equipment.

NH residents wishing to use energy more efficiently, conserve energy and save money on their heating and cooling bills, will find the workshop presentation very helpful. The local workshop organizer, the Cornish and Plainfield Energy Committees said “We are bringing this workshop to our area because it offers valuable and practical information about how to save energy and reduce costs while making our homes more comfortable. The information about available funding can also help make these improvements possible for more people. With the high cost of energy, efficiency is now more important than ever. We hope many people will take the time to attend this informative workshop.”

The workshop is free. For more information on the Cornish and Plainfield NHSaves Button Up or other NHSaves Button Up Workshops visit https://nhsaves.com/learn/?resource_type=events. For questions or help registering and getting the Zoom link contact josharf@gmail.com or evan.oxenham@gmail.com

CORBIN’S ANIMAL GARDEN – Mary Kronenwetter

In the late 1800s, Austin Corbin, from Newport, built a grand estate and bought out his neighbors’ farms to create a 22,000 acre wildlife game preserve stocked with boar, bison, bighorn sheep, antelope, elk, Chinese pheasant, and other imported animals. The grounds eventually became a prestigious private hunting park and hosted illustrious guests. This illustrated slideshow features archival images and a discussion of the complicated history and legacy of New Hampshire’s own American Gilded Age robber baron. The talk will also highlight the important legacy of the role the Corbin family and park naturalist Ernest Baynes played in the saving of the American bison from extinction.
