  • Apples, Acorns Aplenty!

    July 12, 2020

    Foresters, wildlife biologists and homeowners are watching a strong year for the development of the forest foods that will ripen into autumn apples, acorns and even a good pine seed crop in New Hampshire forests. Fruit trees and oak forests with acorns are THE supermarkets of the forest.

It’s no wonder Mount Major’s panoramic summit, which boasts views of the Lakes Region and White Mountains, is a highly regarded destination for locals and tourists alike. With an estimated 80,000 visitors annually, though, Mount Major’s trails are being loved to death. Soil erosion, off-trail usage, dog waste, and garbage are just some of the visitor-created impacts Forest Society staff and volunteers contend with throughout the year. 

A *now-completed restoration project* that took place during September 2020 repaired the base of the eroded Main (Blue) Trail and provided proper drainage, greatly improving the visitor experience.

We can’t continue to fulfill our stewardship goals without your support, for this year and beyond. Your donation will help us improve the Mt. Major experience for all!
