CONCORD — The Conservation Fund and the New Hampshire Division of Forests and Lands announced Monday the completion of a multi-year effort to protect 6,395 acres of forestland and aquatic resources within the Beebe River watershed in central New Hampshire.
Sharing a 6.5-mile boundary with White Mountain National Forest, the newly conserved contiguous land will remain privately owned and sustainably managed to support forest industry products and jobs, while ensuring public recreational access, wildlife habitat and water resource protection.
