Protecting New Hampshire, Today and for the Next 125 Years
In 2026, we celebrate 125 years of protecting the places that define our state—Mt. Monadnock, Franconia Notch, Mt. Kearsarge, the Merrimack River shoreline, and countless forests, wetlands, and streams.
Our work is not just about the past. Every choice we make today shapes the forests, trails, and natural spaces of tomorrow. From defending conserved lands and improving trails to training the next generation of conservation leaders, the Forest Society takes action now to safeguard New Hampshire’s natural heritage.
Your gift to the Annual Fund makes this possible.
Here’s what your support helped accomplish in 2025:
- Ewing Family Forest, Chesterfield: 730 acres of forest, wetlands, and wildlife habitat conserved.
- Rydstrom Family Forest, Bradford & Hillsborough: 1,328 acres protected in one of the region’s largest intact forests.
- The Rocks, Bethlehem: 10,000+ visitors experienced trails, concerts, and educational programs.
- Mt. Monadnock trails: Volunteers and staff cared for trails while protecting key trailhead land.
And in 2026, we’re aiming even higher:
- Conserving 655 acres in Nelson, Hancock, and Antrim.
- Completing the 750-acre Campton Bog project and expanding Powder Major’s Forest.
- Opening a new all-persons accessible trail along the Merrimack River and improving access at Mt. Sunapee.
Your support keeps us ready to act, adapt, and invest where it matters most. Join us—make a gift today to protect the New Hampshire of the future.
