The Rocks

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. 

The Rocks' Christmas tree farm is open daily 10 AM-3 PM through December 15. We'll have lush balsam and Fraser fir trees available to cut your own Christmas tree, a selection of handmade wreaths, and locally made items for sale in the gift shop. See our holiday schedule for 2024 and plan a visit.
