We're almost there and need your support!

Spring is just a few days away – and we are fast approaching our Mt. Monadnock land conservation campaign deadline to protect 400 acres on this iconic mountain!

With mailings out, field trips and presentations behind us, social media continuing to orbit, a challenge grant from Fitzwilliam, your calls and emails, and some pending foundation grants, we’ve raised approximately $625,000 of the $760,000 campaign to date. Thus far, we have donations from over 900 individuals, from Maine to California.

This means we still have $135,000 to raise in the days ahead (our deadline is March 20 for a March 31 closing) – so please continue to contact those you know who may have an affiliation with Mt. Monadnock to support the protection of this important landscape. Because of the Forest Society and local communities commitments to protecting the mountain since 1915 – Monadnock is still the same landscape Henry David Thoreau experienced! And thank you to all who have already supported this campaign.
