We're excited to share the good news about recently completed land protection projects:

  • Mitchell Conservation Easement, Gilmanton ~ The Mitchell family donated a conservation easement on 40 acres, added to the 664 acres they have already protected, to the Forest Society.
  • Derevya Farms, Allenstown ~ Thanks to the Trowbridge-Bonk family, the Merrimack Watershed Partnership, and donors from across the state, we've permanently protected 116 acres in Allenstown at the northern border of Bear Brook State Park with a conservation easement.
  • Morse Preserve, Alton ~ Together with the generosity of two landowners and local partners, we protected 482 acres of land in Alton, New Hampshire. Adjacent to the Forest Society’s 457-acre Evelyn H. & Albert D. Morse, Sr. Preserve, the conservation of these two properties enlarges the Morse Preserve and creates a block of 1,250 acres of conserved land at the southern end of the Belknaps.
  • Murray easement, Wolfeboro and New Durham ~ The Murray Family generously donated a nearly 200-acre conservation easement.
  • Champlin Forest addition, Rochester ~ Champlin Forest expands to 300 acres, thanks to the protection of a 122-acre addition.
  • Tuckaway Farm, Lee ~ A conservation easement on a 36-acre parcel of land that was recently acquired by the Cox family as an addition to Tuckaway Farm.
  • Moose Mountains Reservation Expansion, Brookfield & Middleton ~ The addition to the reservation includes two outright purchases of land adding 171 acres to the already 2,575-acre reservation.
  • Ammonoosuc River Forest, Bethlehem ~ 273 acres along 1.8 miles of the Ammonoosuc River was permanently conserved.
  • Yatsevitch Forest addition, Plainfield ~ The Yeaton family donated 164 acres of land in Plainfield, adding to the beautiful 1,090-acre Michael M. and Claudia Yatsevitch Forest in Cornish and Plainfield.
  • Clay Brook Forest, Hampton Falls ~ A 30-acre conservation easement that lies in the Taylor River watershed, less than a quarter mile from tidal waters and less than two miles from Hampton Bay.
  • Morrill Farm, Boscawen ~ A conservation easement on more than 120 acres of high-quality farmland that supports the Morrill Farm Dairy.
