Notice 3/16/22: Great news! We've been given permission to go back to regular hours at the Friends Bookstore! Volunteers are lined up to be there from 9-4 seven days a week, but we have a few slots unfilled right now. If you see this flag flying, stop in and say hello. Lots of new items available. If you're interested in helping out, stop in and fill out an application or send us a note at primehookowner@yahoo.com.

NOTICE 3/10/22: The photo blind on the Black Farm Trail will be closed until further notice due to a Black Vulture deciding it makes a great spot for a nest! We will eventually repair the photo blind to include hinged doors on the openings, but in the meantime, please do not disturb the birds or eggs. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) prohibits the take (including killing, capturing, selling, trading, and transport) of protected migratory bird species without prior authorization by the Department of Interior U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
