The Newburyport Bank Charitable Foundation has donated $10,000 to the Merrohawke Nature School located in Boxford, MA. The donation will support a number of initiatives as well as the Merrohawke Annual Fundraising Auction benefit. This event will take place on Thursday, May 29, 2025 at Alnoba in Kensington, NH.
Merrohawke Nature School is a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization committed to guiding learning in nature that inspires empathy, resilience, grit and a deep connection to the earth. They work 100% outdoors because they believe this is the best classroom for personal growth, and it just so happens that through direct experience on land and at sea, youth develop a profound love and respect for nature that will stay with them throughout their lives.
In commenting on the donation, Newburyport Bank President John Burcke stated, “We’ve all come to understand the importance and preservation of nature. And we have to ensure that continues through our children for future generations. The Merrohawke Nature School does just that by combining adventure with educational activities to create immersive learning experiences in the outdoors. It’s something to support and celebrate.”
