Founded by a handful of concerned citizens in 1901, the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests is one of the country's most effective statewide land conservation organizations.
More than 80 percent of the Merrimack watershed is still undeveloped and largely forested, yet in 2016, it was named one of the most endangered rivers in the U.S. by the nonprofit American Rivers. Why is the Merrimack at risk? Can we save it? Find out when the Forest Society's documentary premieres July 23 at 8 p.m. on NHPBS, Channel 11.
Protecting and caring for the land have always been core values in New Hampshire. We understand there are many urgent needs today — but doing what we do best is our way of contributing to the greater good, now and into the future. As we go forward — and we must — we need your continued generosity more than ever before.
Last month, the Forest Society and our partners at the Granite State Division of the Society of American Foresters and UNH Cooperative Extension sponsored a webinar series on forest carbon dynamics and carbon markets.
