Thanks to the generosity of more than 425 private donors, the Forest Society has conserved 230 acres of critical land at the summit of Mt. Kearsarge—some of the last remaining private inholdings within the state forest. This milestone protects high-elevation habitat and preserves the mountain’s scenic and ecological integrity for generations to come.

Winter in New Hampshire’s North Country invites quiet reflection — on snowy trails, forested ridgelines, and the sense of place shaped by generations of foresight and care. The landscapes we enjoy today exist because people came together to protect forests and open spaces, a legacy that continues to support wellbeing, recreation, and connection year-round.

On February 6, 2026, the Forest Society celebrates 125 years of caring for New Hampshire’s forests—and we’re marking the occasion in a place deeply rooted in our history. Forest Society members are invited to join us for Forest Society Ski Day at Mount Sunapee, with $35 lift tickets available exclusively to members.
