New Hampshire Forests – Past, Present and Future

125 years of Protecting NH Landscapes and Landmarks

This is the story of the NH Landscape and Legacy. How has NH been shaped by the forethought and generosity of the people leading forest conservation and land protection success over the past century and a quarter – since 1901. Join us to consider how conservation of forests, wildlife habitats and recreation trails for future generations is core to identity of NH communities and economy.

RSVPs are appreciated but not required. Walk-ins are welcome; those registered will receive updates about any changes.

Ever wondered what actually happens during a timber harvest or how foresters decide which trees stay and which ones go? Join the Forest Society and UNH Cooperative Extension for a special winter tour of an active winter timber harvest.

Beethoven’s Piano Trio in Bb, Op. 97, “The Archduke”, features a four-movement symphonic design, a lyrical and spacious style, and a profound and emotionally resonant third movement, which many consider the heart of the entire work.​ Rounding out the program is a charming trio by Franz Joscph Haydn, who’s own brilliance and accomplishments made Beethoven’s innovations possible, and a wonderfully kaleidoscopic trio, for flute, horn and piano, by Eric Ewazen, a beneficiary of both earlier composers, which is full of dramatic flourishes, gentle, expressive melodies and energetic, dance-like rhythmic interplay.

New England is a special place – the fingerprints of both history and pre-history are impressed on the landscape. Join us for a thoughtful exploration of Creek Farm, where we learn to recognize how natural and human history intermingle at every turn.

Birds are some of the most accessible and fascinating wildlife around us, offering daily opportunities for discovery and connection. 

RSVPs are appreciated but not required. Walk-ins are welcome; those registered will receive updates about any changes.

Join our Senior Outreach Manager, Nigel Manley, on a snowshoe hike on the trails at The Rocks.

In this presentation, Morgan and Chris will talk about the federally funded Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey program and what it means for New Hampshire and the nation. This is a pest detection program designed to help protect American agriculture and natural resources. You will learn which exotic pests were targeted for surveys for the 2025 season throughout New Hampshire and why we chose those locations (including The Rocks).

RSVPs are appreciated but not required. Walk-ins are welcome; those registered will receive updates about any changes.

Join Nigel Manley in Bethlehem for a workshop focused on the practice of pruning wild apple trees. This workshop has a classroom and outdoor practical portion at Forest Society North at the Rocks.
