Caring for New Hampshire Forests since 1925


We help citizens, landowners, communities and natural resources professionals learn about and care for New Hampshire forests, trees, wildlife and habitats. 

Extension County Foresters


We visit your property (approximately 10 acres or more) for free, and help you achieve your goals for your property including forestry, recreation, wildlife habitat, water resources, scenic beauty, and more. We assist landowners, communities, and natural resource professionals.
