Every Day is Earth Day at the Forest Society

Land Conservation
A group of hikers from Nashua and Dunbarton volunteered to pick up trash along the trail.
Volunteers help pick up trash while they hike at Mt Major on Earth Day 2022.

Each year, Earth Day arrives in the spring as a reminder to do a little more than the year before — whether it’s cleaning up your favorite park or neighborhood trail, connecting kids with nature, or making a donation to support land protection. Celebrated since 1970, Earth Day is the largest secular observance in the world, its organizers say, with more than a billion people taking action to protect the environment.
Here are a few ways you can help us protect our state's natural places in honor of Earth Day on Saturday, April 22.

  • Clean up one of NH's most popular hiking destinations, Mount Major. Finish your DIY hike and litter cleanup by 2 PM on April 22 and the Forest Society will haul away your bag from the parking lot in Alton. No registration necessary.
  • Connect the dots between wildlife, humans, and trees during a DIY Story Stroll at Creek Farm in Portsmouth starting April 22. The book, “Trout Come From Trees," will unfold as you walk Little Harbor Loop. 
  • Learn why the Merrimack watershed is endangered and what you can do to protect it by watching our documentary, "The Merrimack: River at Risk," for free online. Or, watch on NHPBS as it airs on April 20 and 23.
  • Ensure the Granite State's forests are protected in perpetuity by joining the Forest Society as a member and contribute to one of our ongoing land protection and stewardship projects. We appreciate your continued support!
