The Rocks (Bethlehem, NH) 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.
