New Hampshire Forests Past, Present and Future: 125 years Protecting NH Landscapes and Landmarks

Co-sponsored by the Society for the Protection of NH Forests Join Dave Anderson, Senior Director of Education at the Society for the Protection of NH Forests, for a special presentation on the landscape and legacy of forest conservation. How has NH been shaped by the forethought and generosity of the people leading forest conservation and land protection success over the past century and a quarter – since 1901. Can you imagine New Hampshire without iconic parks and scenic places: Mt Monadnock, Mt Sunapee, Mt Kearsarge, The White Mountain National Forest and Franconia Notch? How has intentional land conservation worked to save state landmarks and more? Imagine a NH without the work of the Forest Society! Where are forests conserved? What is the economic value of open space? What are the challenges that NH forests face today and in the future? How can residents address the challenges of forest health by keeping forests as forests in our growing state? Join us to consider how conservation of forests, wildlife habitats and recreation trails for future generations is core to identity of NH communities and economy. The presentation will be followed by a reception to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of the Forest Society and to honor the partnership between The Fells and the Forest Society in the protection of the Hay Forest Reservation. Meets in the Pavilion. Fells Members and Society for the Protection of NH Forests Members: Free, Non-members: $10. Advance registration is requested but walk-ins are welcome.
