The Forest Society's Annual Fund supports the full spectrum of our work to conserve, manage and care for lands and waters across the state and to engage people through education, advocacy, and outdoor programs that foster appreciation and citizen action on behalf of our great outdoors.

Give to a Land Protection Project

Each year, the Forest Society works in partnership with landowners, neighbors, donors, grantmaking organizations, partner land trusts, conservation commissions and local and state governments to identify and conserve strategic additions to our network of permanently protected forests, lands and waters.

Stewardship Funds

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.

Land Action Fund

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.

Policy Action Fund

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.
