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.

The Forest Society conserved a 193-acre easement on Morrill Farm Dairy’s main property in Penacook, protecting working farmland, natural habitats, and more than a mile of Merrimack River frontage.
