Forest Society Celebrates its 200th Conserved Forest with the Bean Forest in Farmington

June 30, 2025

The Forest Society has announced its 200th conserved property: the 280-acre Bean Forest in Farmington, gifted by longtime member Dorothy “Dottie” Bean. In accordance with her wishes, the historic home and barns were sold to fund an endowment that will support stewardship of the land, which includes fields, forests, hiking trails, and mountain views. To mark this milestone—now totaling nearly 67,000 protected acres—the Forest Society will host a public celebration and walk at Bean Forest on Sunday, July 13.
