February 17, 2026

As reported by David Brooks in the Concord Monitor, the Forest Society is testing innovative “slash” techniques in Henniker to protect regenerating hardwoods from overbrowsing by White-tailed deer. By studying whether slash walls or ground cover better deter deer, the project aims to develop practical, data-driven guidance for landowners working to grow healthy, resilient forests.

Thanks to the generosity of more than 425 private donors, the Forest Society has conserved 230 acres of critical land at the summit of Mt.

This milestone protects high-elevation habitat and preserves the mountain’s scenic and ecological integrity for generations to come.
