The Forest Society has announced its 200th conserved property: the 280-acre Bean Forest in Farmington, gifted by longtime member Dorothy “Dottie” Bean.

To mark this milestone—now totaling nearly 67,000 protected acres—the Forest Society will host a public celebration and walk at Bean Forest on Sunday, July 13.
