2011 marks 50 years since The Nature Conservancy's first protection effort in New Hampshire.  The project - a 400-acre peninsula between Lake Nubanusit and Spoonwood Pond in Hancock and Nelson - would also be the Conservancy's first in all of Northern New England, marking an institutional milestone. 

Known then as the "Louis Cabot Preserve" and affectionately as "the island" by locals, this land's story is one rich with history: a family's legacy, a development plan, a grassroots fundraising effort that didn't cower in the face of a seemingly impossible task and a young conservation organization ready to take the plunge along with those local "nature lovers".

We're excited to share the tale with you, to celebrate the success all those years ago, the ones in between and those ahead. Register Today!
