The Forest Society recently submitted comments to the NH Division of Forests and Lands regarding the proposed 2020 New Hampshire Forest Action Plan, a 10-year strategic plan for New Hampshire's forests.

The Forest Society is part of the Northeast Forest Network (NFN), a coalition of organizations from across New England and New York who share a common mission of forest conservation, combating climate change, protecting clean air and water, and enhancing wildlife habitats.
