Quotes: Mount Sunapee

“Climb the mountains and get their glad tidings.  Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.  The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.” – John Muir (1838-1914)

This quote can be found in the prologue of the "Manual of Mount Sunapee," which chronicled the geological, cultural and natural history of the area and spoke to the importance of public awareness in “preserving the mountain for the enjoyment of all.” 

Published in 1915 by the Sunapee Chapter of the Forest Society, the manual sold for 50 cents and the proceeds went to support trail maintenance on Mount Sunapee.

The Manual is available at Abbott Library, Sunapee, NH, in the Reference Department.

 

FOMS Letter 2007

Autumn 2007

Greetings from Friends of Mount Sunapee,

At this particularly beautiful time of the year, we want to thank you for your past and continued support.

FOMS maintains an active role both in our communities and in the state capital. Our volunteers continue to monitor development plans that affect Mount Sunapee and the state park. FOMS also energetically supports land conservation initiatives such as the recent, very successful project of the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests to protect over 1,000 acres of Sunapee-Pillsbury highland.

Today, we ask you to please renew or initiate membership and update your contact information, so that we may notify you when action is needed. It is important, as well, for us to receive your opinions and priorities. To strengthen our town-to-town network, please consider serving as a FOMS community liaison to help share information about activities and concerns in your area. Let us know if you can help.

In 2007, FOMS accomplished several behind the scenes and important goals. We established a new office, produced and distributed an informative 8-page newsletter and monitored development projects for lands in and around the park. FOMS, also, supported land protection efforts to protect key parcels threatened by development.

Development continues to change the face of our region, impacting our quality of life. Changes in NH State policy and budget agendas, also, can bring profound anunforeseen affects. Players at the local and state level change, as well. All these factors and others make constant monitoring and communication critical in fulfilling our mission—to protect our mountain park and to preserve the unique heritage and natural resources of the Mount Sunapee area.

Thank you!

PS: We must continue to be vigilant and prepared.
