Success Stories

Thanks to the growing community support in our region, the Monadnock Conservancy has been able to conserve 21,000 acres in this region. It’s largely thanks to the hundreds of willing individuals who choose to partner with us and voluntarily agree to conserve their land forever.

Included here are heartwarming stories of such people, about their love of the land, and their commitment to protecting the Monadnock region and its rural character. Please enjoy reading about these generous couples and families and their special places.
