Pappas’ tour comes on the heels of Bartlett’s proposed closure, now postponed due to bipartisan action by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Gov. Kelly Ayotte. Rep. Maggie Goodlander also had a recent visit to Bartlett, just after she and Pappas jointly introduced legislation to block Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins from implementing the closures without congressional approval. Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in Thornton has been removed from the closure list.
For nearly a century, the U.S. Forest Service's experimental forests—including Bartlett Experimental Forest and Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest—have provided the scientific research that guides sustainable forest management, wildlife habitat, climate resilience, and water quality across New Hampshire. Proposed changes that could weaken or close these research centers threaten the long-term knowledge landowners, foresters, and conservation organizations rely on to steward healthy forests.
Join the Forest Society on August 8 for this special anniversary event offering rare access to privately protected conservation easement properties across New Hampshire through guided and self-guided tours, landowner conversations, and opportunities to explore the landscapes conservation helps preserve.
