How You Can Help

Join – Volunteer – Share

Over a century ago Herbert Welsh, the father of land conservation on Mount Sunapee, led a campaign to: “Save Mount Sunapee for all people to all time!” Welsh, working with the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, preserved more than 1000 acres on Mount Sunapee. The Forest Society ceded its holdings in 1948 to the State of New Hampshire in the formation of our mountain park.

The Mount Sunapee Reservation was the first forest reservation in the state.

Now, it’s our turn to preserve Mount Sunapee’s conservation legacy and protect the area’s scenic beauty and unique natural resources for current and future generations.
