The Rocks is the northern headquarters for the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, a statewide land conservation organization also known as the Forest Society. The Rocks encompasses 1,400 acres and includes sustainably managed forestland, a Christmas tree farm, and the New Hampshire Maple Experience. We offer family-friendly educational programs, walking trails, and an interactive visitor center at the historic 1884 Carriage Barn, now a net-zero facility. We also host school programs, bus tours, weddings and events.
The Rocks' trails are open to the public from dawn to dusk. The Carriage Barn at The Rocks is open to visitors Tuesday-Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM, including the interactive exhibits and gift shop (the restrooms inside the Carriage Barn are open daily from 6 AM to 8 PM).
Construction work for Forest Society North is complete — thank you for your support!

We are excited to host another holiday season at The Rocks and the second year based out of the Carriage Barn! As usual, we will have lush balsam and Frasier fir trees available, a selection of handmade wreaths, wagon rides, and locally made items for sale in the gift shop.
