The Rocks in Bethlehem, New Hampshire is a 1,400-acre forest reservation, owned and managed by the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. Forest Society North is a multi-year restoration and renovation project at The Rocks that started in 2020 and that we hope to complete by the summer of 2023.
