“The past twelve months have been extraordinary,” said executive director Richard Ober. “Thanks to the generosity of many landowners and hundreds of friends, we have established 22 new conservation areas covering more than 2,600 acres in the Monadnock Region. The Conservancy’s annual meeting is a time to celebrate what we have accomplished together and to look at the challenges ahead.”
Among the special announcements will be an update on the campaign to save Temple Mountain and the Conservancy’s plan for increasing the pace of land conservation. Maps and photographs of many recently protected lands will be on display, and the Abe Wolfe Land Protection Award will be presented to one of the region’s foremost conservation leaders.
Following the meeting, field trips are planned to Temple Mountain in Temple, the Dugdale Tree Farm in Sharon, and the Goyette Natural Area in Peterborough.
