KEEPING OUR LANDS working, wild, and local
6,500 acres and growing
ACT helps families and farmers protect their greatest assets: the forests, farms, wildlife corridors and sparkling waters that define New Hampshire’s North Country
What’s at Stake?
Everything.
Conservation keeps wilderness and agricultural lands in use and open for recreation, while protecting biodiversity, scenic beauty, and the cultural heritage of New Hampshire’s North Country.
These are working landscapes and living spaces: productive fields, managed forests, flowing rivers and open trails where people and wildlife move freely through connected corridors and diverse habitats.
Without protection, these lands may be lost piece by piece to development, fragmentation or restricted access. ACT works with local landowners to keep these open spaces intact forever, safeguarding access to clean air and water, open views and places where people can walk, explore and breathe.
Recently Conserved —Ammonoosuc Riverlands
Ammonoosuc Riverlands — 747 acres protected
Forestland, river frontage, and wildlife habitat at risk of subdivision — now permanently conserved.
This pristine land remains intact, able to maintain clean water, diverse habitats, and a working forest in Bethlehem, NH.
Your Stewardship Moves Mountains & Tractors
Conservation keeps working lands active and families connected to the land. It protects maple sugarbushes, grazing dairy herds, working forests and mowed hay fields, while preserving habitat for meadow-nesting birds and wildlife. It honors the generations before us and safeguards this way of life for those still to come.
Every conserved property begins with people who choose to protect the land they love. Your support helps ACT work with local families to conserve their forests, farms and waterways, holding these lands in trust forever so they remain part of our lives today and for future generations.
