You do realize that Keene Meadow Solar is to be built on private property which you and others have absolutely no legal right to use, recreationally or otherwise, do you not?

Thanks for your feedback, do you have any recommendations regarding repellants? I’ve read that lavender oil is effective? Also, would you say the flies are mostly an issue in wooded areas or maybe near water or are they just everywhere?! Thanks again

Yes but Greenville has Country Mile.

I have lived here my whole life and it is nearly impossible to avoid exposure to them if you go outside. It tends to be the worst in the later afternoon and evening in my opinion, so I guess maybe try to have the majority of your outdoor activities in in the middle of the day? Also wooded areas are usually worse for bugs than developed areas.

I have never had good luck with bug sprays for any kind of insects. They always still hunt me down, but you could do some research on them and maybe something will work for you.

Hope you enjoy your time here and have safe travels.

Black flies are more annoying than anything else, I wouldn't worry overly about bites from them. Avoid wet places and water, wear light clothing and a hat, use bug spray. You can also keep moving to keep them off of you.

Deer flies are the nasty ones, they refuse to leave you alone and their bites can hurt.

20 years ago it was far worse. Now it's trying to be suburban.

If really will friend on the weather and where your are planning to visit. The southern part of the state will usually have black fly hatch in early May, but it's more like early to mid June for the hatch in the White Mountains.
But it will depend on the weather. If it is warmer then normal, they may hatch earlier.

Typically, long sleeves and long pants will protect you, and I use bug repellent on my face and neck. If I'm doing something that will make me sweat I'll wear a bug head net mesh over my head.

The Greater Goose Pond Forest, to the west of Old Gilsum Road and Keene Meadow Solar, and the very large forest to the north of both Goose Pond and Keene Meadow Solar, provide abundant space for hiking and recreation.

You can contact the company to volunteer your acreage here.

Yea, black flies and deer flies can be pretty awful in May.

Deer flies are attracted to the tallest thing, so stick a piece of duck tape with the sticky side out on top and towards the back of a baseball hat.

Head nets work too.

Other than that, I'd probably bring some extra strength hydrocortisone.

As opposed to putting panels where there isn't already forest. ... didn't think it was that much of a mystery. Top of buildings, over larger parking areas, as an upright array overlooking an already cleared area.

Really? Many of us here are for solar. Are you familiar with the area they want to put this array?

No clearly not.

The area they want to put it is a highly used recreational area, and one of the larger wooded areas in Keene. It will be a big loss to have this put there. There are many other areas this could be installed wooded or not. Hell, I’ve got acreage they could use.

You're inciting fear instead of citing evidence.

Ooooooh nice, it used to specify a max tint of something like 70%. It’s why I never bothered tinting. I wonder when that changed. Thanks for the info!

If its any consolation, you can see on a satellite view (google maps for example) that the entire project area has had extensive logging within the past few years, so at least its not old growth or even mature second growth forest they will be clearing.

As opposed to what? Fossil Fuel extraction is significantly more damaging.

Cue the Magats. With idiotic comments.

Meanwhile natural habitats are destroyed every day to extract fossil fuels. Every read about the impact of fracking on water tables?

Just utter nonsense. Solar is by far the least intrusive in terms of damage to the environment.

You want electricity? It has to come from somewhere.

Salem here! Stoked!!

State law doesn't have a requirement for specific tint levels under a Medical Waiver. They're only good for two years. https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/XXI/266/266-61-a.htm

It's always "applied after inspection".

imagine defending rochester hoollllyy shittt

So my questions are "fake news"? Got it.

This is awesome news!

Thank god. Mental healthcare in this state is a tragic joke by and large

In n out is basically McDonalds

Please refer to my prior comment explaining the negative effects of wood burning
