About

For more than 45 years, Natural History Week has gathered on Star Island, NH, giving adults and families a perfect vacation, with daily presentations and activities on topics as diverse as ornithology, animal migration, wildflowers, geology, botany, entomology, archaeology, and oceanography.

“Natural History Week on Star Island offers much-needed respite during these uncertain times. Here, you will find space for curiosity to explore timely topics with regional experts, time to unplug and enjoy the natural beauty of this scenic island, and a deeper connection to a meaningful community. I invite you to join us.“
