Sixteen new volunteer Land Stewards spent a full Saturday in early spring with Forest Society staff at the Conservation Center in Concord for our annual Land Steward Field Day. After two months of virtual training sessions, the Field Day allowed new Stewards from across the state to meet in-person, hone their stewardship skills, test their knowledge, and—as a bonus celebration to fete the organization’s 125th anniversary—nosh some cupcakes and raise a glass. 

Join the Forest Society for a month of stewardship at Mount Major in Alton. With heavy use comes real impact—trash, erosion, and strain on trails and water. From volunteer outreach and trail work to a self-guided Earth Day cleanup, there are simple ways to help care for this well-loved place. Be part of protecting it for the future.

March in New Hampshire is a study in extremes—where thawing sunshine and lingering winter collide, sometimes within the same week. From record temperature swings to dripping icicles and flowing maple sap, it’s a month defined by change, inviting us to slow down, soak up the sun, and savor the small rituals that signal spring’s return.
