The Forest Society’s education programs help people connect with and understand the value of New Hampshire’s forests. Explore the state through field trips, volunteer training and workdays, and engaging lecture series. Programs cover topics such as forest and wildlife ecology, forestry and forest management, logging, land conservation, and New Hampshire forest history. Seasonal opportunities include vernal pool ecology, winter mammal tracking, winter tree identification, and more. Guided hikes and trail workdays take place across the Forest Society’s network of 200 forests, offering over 60,000 acres open to the public. Special field trips are also offered to highlight new land conservation priorities and strategic land protection projects.
