Explore Black Mountain with the Forest Society
Join the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests on Saturday, October 2 to learn about the wildlife habitats, forestry, scenic, and community recreation resources of Black Mountain and the current campaign to protect it. This naturalist-led hike through the colorful autumn foliage will take place from 10 am to 1 pm.
The Forest Society is working to purchase 1,025 acres on Black Mountain, a secondary peak of Mount Kearsarge in the towns of Sutton and Warner. The property contains the Lincoln Trail segment of the Sunapee-Ragged-Kearsarge Greenway trail to Mount Kearsarge as well as a local snowmobile corridor. The tract features managed forest lands, scenic waterfalls on Mountain Brook, many different wildlife habitats, and extraordinary views that stretch from the Mount Sunapee highlands to Cardigan region.
This hike is co-sponsored by the Sutton Conservation Commission.
