On this National Boss's Day, please join us in giving a shout-out to Birchtree's fearless leader, Sandra Pierce-Jordan! When she's not a boss in the office, she's a boss on the trails of the White Mountains and beyond.

Sandra recently did an interview with The Chamber Collaborative of Greater Portsmouth for their Collaborate and Listen podcast; you can check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/190X89i3h8l9Pa41egOnSE .

Thank you, Sandra, for your incredible vision, leadership, and support!

On this , we’re feeling grateful to the Small Family Community Fellowship Program offered by the University of New Hampshire’s Cooperative Extension. This program allowed us to welcome Finn, a student at UNH Manchester, to serve as Birchtree’s Marketing & Fundraising Intern this summer.

Many of the wonderful photos and social-media posts you’ve seen here lately were the result of Finn’s hard work. Please join us in thanking Finn, the UNH Extension, and the Small Family for their support!
