Mount Monadnock is one of the most-hiked mountains in the world, and one of the first places the Forest Society protected.  You don't have to make it to the summit to experience all the wonders that Mount Monadnock has to offer!  Join Forest Society land steward and Monadnock Trail Crew Member Julie Perron on a beautiful 4 mile loop hike on the southern flanks of the mountain- this off-the-beaten-path loop travels three Monadnock trails (Parker, Lost Farm and Cliff Walk) offering fine views without the crowds along with lush hardwood forests, babbling brooks and boulder outcroppings.

Timber Harvesting Tour at Mount Monadnock

The Forest Society will host a public tour to showcase timber harvest activities being conducted on the Forest Society's Monadnock Forest Reservation above the Shaker Farm Road in Jaffrey. This tour will share the forestry prescriptions and logging activity taking place on approximately 50 acres adjacent to the Marlboro Trail.

Start the new year off right with an outdoor excursion!  Join NH State Park and Forest Society staff and land stewards for a 3-mile self-guided hike along the Parker Trail to the Little Mountain Viewpoint. This hike will take approximately 3 hours to complete. For those looking for a more leisurely hike of 2 miles, enjoy a hike along the Parker Trail to the Cliff Walk junction and back. This leisurely hike will take approximately 2 hours on relatively flat terrain. Snowshoes or traction may be helpful depending on conditions.

Join us for the 11th annual Monadnock Trails Week!  Volunteers are needed to help refurbish hiking trails on New Hampshire's most hiked mountain, Mount Monadnock.  Projects will include bog bridging, stone staircases, cleaning and/or construction of new waterbars, clearing a nature trail, and more.  No experience is necessary, but you should be willing to get dirty!  Each day runs from 9am-3pm; volunteers can join for just one day, or as many as you like.
