Join Charlie and Brenden Bowen, land stewards for the Society for the Protection of NH Forests, on a spring hike to the top of Mount Wallingford on the Buxton-Simons Forest in Weare. This 226-acre property has nice forested walking trails with beaver marshes and mountain views. Come and explore it with us! This moderately strenuous hike of 3.2 miles will take approximately 2-3 hours. We will meet at the trailhead on Flanders Memorial Road (approximately 1.5 miles west of the Town Hall) at 8:45am.

The Forest Society is currently raising funds to purchase the 195 acre “Powder Major's Forest” in Madbury, Durham and Lee.  This property is rich in colonial and native American history and will become a wonderful recreation destination for the local community if we are successful.  Since we’ll be holding a number of field trips on the property to aid in the fundraising process, the current landowner is happy to have the Forest Society host a volunteer workday to make the property more accessible.  We’ll be working on marking and clearing a portion of the trail system, as well as improving

This is a half day workshop using classroom and field instruction to teach you how to work safely with a chainsaw in the woods. Topics will include safety considerations, felling, bucking and routine maintenance. NOTE: This training is required for Land Stewards to operate chainsaws on SPNHF properties.

In the spirit of Earth Day, join Forest Society Staff on Wednesday April 24th by helping to clean up trails on Mount Major.  This annual Trash Challenge is Co-sponsored by the Belknap Range Conservation Coalition that focuses on increasing land conservation in the Belknap Range.

Join the Forest Society's Moose Mountains Reservation Land Stewards Jason & Scott on our Annual Snow Shoe hike! We made it a week later this year in hopes we get a little more snow by then! On this years hike we will hit all the main points of MMR, so while there is nothing overly strenuous or difficult for experienced winter hikers, it will still be an all day hike.

This fun and interactive volunteer training will provide you with the basics of planning and executing a guided walk. Participants in the is free workshop should be willing to commit to leading (or co-leading) at least one outdoor hike or event in the subsequent 12 months.  You can do it!  It's easy, it's fun, and we promise you'll feel prepared after this workshop.  Sponsored by the Forest Society and UNH Cooperative Extension's Speaking for Wildlife Program.
