Pat Conaway admits he is "kind of a nut" about the environment, so when he retired from teaching in 2008, it didn't take long for him to find a number of productive ways to spend his time.  "I wanted to get people fired up about the environment, to try to encourage citizens to get involved locally," said Conaway, of Natick, Mass., founder of Big Hearts, Little Feet.  A nearly constant presence on area roadways, trails and waterways, Conaway can be found leading groups of volunteers, including many students, to pick up trash, improve trails and remove invasive species.

Courthouse Vigil Held for Homeless

Activists, advocates in Concord join the homeless in song.

Advocates for the homeless in Concord headed into court on May 20, requesting a Superior Court judge to force the state of New Hampshire to have a public hearing before allowing the removal of homeless campers from state land. Attorney Barbara Keshen of the NH Civil Liberties Union asked for an extension to offer more testimony and preparation about the injunction request, which the judge granted.
