BRISTOL – The Slim Baker Foundation for Outdoor Educa- tion is thrilled to host a special Fireside Chat with veteran wild- life biologist and author Eric Orff on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM at the Slim Baker Lodge, located at 301 New Chester Mountain Road, Bristol, NH. This free event is open to the public, but registration is required.
Eric Orff, a dedicated wildlife biologist with over five decades of experience in New Hamp- shire, will share highlights from his new book, What’s Wild: A Half-Century of Wisdom from the Woods and Rivers of New England. Through more than four dozen captivating stories, Orff recounts his extraordinary career in wildlife conservation—
from saving thousands of bats from poisoning to an unforget- table nighttime ride on a tran- quilized whitetail deer.
Beyond his adventures, Orff has been a leading voice in conservation and climate awareness in New Hampshire, working with NH Fish and Game, the National Wildlife Federation, and NH Audu- bon’s policy council. His work in conservation messaging, in- cluding his memorable radio
PSAs on WOKQ , has made him a trusted advocate for New Hampshire’s wildlife and wildplaces.
Attendees will have the op- portunity to hear Eric’s first- hand experiences, conservation insights, and legendary humor in an intimate fireside setting.

The Slim Baker Area is 135- acre tract of conserved land on
Little Round Top Mountain in Bristol, New Hampshire, set up in 1953 as a memorial to Everett “Slim” Baker, a dedicated and much-loved local conservation officer with the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.
Slim dreamed of setting up a “school for outdoor living” in the Newfound Lake area, and the Slim Baker Area is the fulfillment of that dream. The Slim Baker Area is maintained by the Slim Baker Foundation, and open year-round for hiking, snowshoeing, and camping.
