Upcoming Events

Join the Dreamcatchers and the Forest Society for a mindful spring walk at Welch Farm Forest in Hancock. This easy one-mile “MicroExploring” experience invites participants to slow down and discover the wildlife, wildflowers, and flowing waters of the Monadnock Region’s conserved SuperSanctuary—with insights from Dave Anderson and coffee in hand.

One of our most popular volunteer events!

This is a great way to give back to an iconic NH destination, but also a chance to learn about the long history of the gorge formation, protection, and the visitor experience as well. A day of spring cleaning at Lost River Reservation - Forest Society's longest owned reservation! 

The Forest Society offers over 200 properties across New Hampshire, all waiting to be explored. With all these options are you wondering where to start your journey, or take it to the next level? A curated list of “Hidden Gems” will feature 12 inspiring places that are exceptionally scenic, have intriguing backstories, and highlight what makes the outdoors in New Hampshire so special.

Look and listen for spring birds- warblers, flycatchers, sparrow, and more- and learn more about a new property the Forest Society is hoping to purchase adjacent to our Powder Major's Forest in Madbury, NH! Our birding coach(Land Steward Jack Swatt) and knowledgeable staff members (Stacie Hernandez, Emily Bartolini, and Kaity Stanton) will guide you on this adventure.

It's the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors together! We have a unique place in our own backyard where we can explore the seaside, the forest, and history! It doesn't matter how old you are, the natural world is fascinating and there's something for everyone to explore!

Explore the world of birds through a guided bird walk, an informative session on duck banding and conservation, and a beginner-friendly talk on bird photography.

Join us for a guided hike and refreshments to celebrate the Merrimack Floodplain All Persons Trail!

Environmental educator and park naturalist Jeff Wallner recently retired after 45 years in America's outdoors. He was SPNHF's first program coordinator at The Rocks and later statewide education director. He moved west to work in National Parks, an avocation that became a second career.

This program will be offered hybrid with a Zoom component.

Spend a day immersed in the beauty of spring at The Rocks with a special program celebrating wildflowers, woodland stewardship, and pollinators.
