For many years, a recreational gem of trees has been waiting, untouched, to be used by the Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) community.

By this time, most students have selected their classes for next semester. They have all gotten up for their registration times and stumbled to their computers or tablets and logged on to their accounts.
