Contributions

The Forest Society conserves land and manages forests, but people ⁠— our members and donors ⁠— are our greatest asset. Your support for land conservation in New Hampshire is a wise investment today and for the future. Your gifts protect the mountains, fields, forests, and waters that make New Hampshire an exceptional place to live, work and visit.  There are many ways to support the Forest Society, including donating to our Annual Fund, giving to a land protection project, and joining us a member!

Our stewardship funds help support the perpetual care and management of our conservation areas and the conservation easements that we hold. This work ranges from trail maintenance to habitat management to mowing and maintaining parking areas and trailheads.

Because owners do not always have the capacity to donate their land or conservation easements, sometimes the Forest Society has to purchase land or conservation easements, at times quickly, in order to protect a property’s exceptional natural resources. The Land Action Fund provides funding to accomplish these important projects.

Over 122 years, we’ve led numerous campaigns to protect special places, from Franconia Notch to Mount Monadnock. We defended the integrity of New Hampshire’s conserved lands by fighting and defeating Northern Pass. We’ve helped to create funding programs like the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) and we’ve convened diverse interests to support sustainable forestry in the Granite State. But, to protect New Hampshire’s forests we must be perpetually vigilant.
