Join our Five Hikes Challenge, running from August 30 through October 31. Choose five hikes from more than 30 of our conserved forests across New Hampshire and discover new trails, quiet woodlands, and breathtaking views along the way. This year’s theme, “Hike with Heart,” is about connecting deeply with the land, caring for the places that sustain us, and sharing those experiences with others.

Join us September 27 at Colby-Sawyer College for a day of field trips, lunch, recognitions, and an inspiring program on how Forest Society internships shape careers. Reserve your spot today!
