The Nature Conservancy in New Hampshire

The Nature Conservancy in New Hampshire Working to ensure New Hampshire's natural heritage and rich landscapes remain healthy for future gen Join us!

We work in New Hampshire and around the world to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Guided by science and using a collaborative approach that is grounded in the needs of our state and local communities, we create innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world’s toughest challenges so that nature and people can thrive together. In New Hampshire, we've helped protect nearly 3

00,000 acres of forests, fields and natural areas, along with more than 680 miles of coastal shoreline and river frontage.

This Juneteenth, we reflect on the significance of freedom, resilience and the ongoing journey of connecting people and nature. Recognized as a federal holiday, Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. It is a day that reminds us all of the enduring importance of remembrance, community and shared history.

Our priority to solve the planet’s challenges depends on a future where people and nature thrive together. That means promoting access to a safe and healthy outdoors and building communities where nature and people thrive together.

Big news for Great Bay! A 28.6-acre working forest on Durham Point is now permanently protected, helping connect wildlife habitat, safeguard water quality and strengthen the conservation network across our coastal region.

Though modest in size, this property helps anchor one of the largest connected landscapes in the coastal watershed, adding to nearly 3,000 acres of conserved land near Crommet and Lubberland Creeks that drain into Little Bay. From oak-pine forest to young forest and pockets of wet meadow and shrubland, the variety of habitats here supports many species. We’re also proud to share that the land has been transferred to our partners at SELT - Southeast Land Trust of New Hampshire, marking their first land holding in Durham and an exciting milestone for conservation in the region.

Huge thanks to our partners and funders:
SELT (of course!), LCHIP, Land and Community Heritage Investment Program, NH Moose Plate, Town of Durham New Hampshire, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, Great Bay 2030 the Great Bay Resource Protection Partnership, the incredible family who previously owned the property, and generous private donors.

Keep calm and float on 🐢

Did you know Eastern box turtles adjust their activity to maintain an optimal body temperature? When it gets too hot, they cool down by retreating to shaded areas, covering themselves with cool mud, burrowing into the soil or even soaking in nearby water to draw heat away from their shells. Pretty cool! (no pun 😁)

We love seeing conservation in action! Our friends at the Greater Lovell Land Trust are hosting a field trip to their Kezar Corridor Lands and Kezar River Forest, where participants will get an up‑close look at climate‑resilient forest management in practice. If this sounds familiar, it's because it's the same work being done in partnership with TNC, University of Vermont, and Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science across the state. This is a chance to explore these special places, learn how forests are being managed for a changing climate, and connect with others who care about the future of our landscapes.

Spots are limited! Learn more and sign up by June 30:

TNC was on Capitol Hill this week to speak up for nature. We met with staff from more than 100 congressional offices from across the aisle to talk about safeguarding our public lands, supporting the Farm Bill, and investing in nature (Did you know that for every $1 the federal government spends on conservation, the average return is $4?)

A fun highlight from the week comes from Jim O'Brien, who bumped into Anna Ricci while meeting with Senator Jeanne Shaheen's staff. You may remember Anna as one of our former Marketing and Communications interns. Now she is a Legislative Correspondent for the senator! We love seeing our interns following their passions and achieving success. Great to see your face, Anna!

When the runway meets the ridgeline.

Hosted by our friends at Granite Outdoor, yesterday’s New Hampshire Outdoor Industry Day brought some serious style to conservation, including a “Rock Walk Fashion Show” celebrating the people and organizations that keep New Hampshire’s outdoors thriving.

Our own Ally Snell represented TNC in classic field-ready form, while Appalachian Mountain Club Archivist Becky Fullerton brought history to life (because great conservation never goes out of style). Did we mention she made this period costume out of old wool drapes? Icon.

Here’s to partnerships, storytelling, and showing up for nature in every era! Thanks to GOA for such a fun event.

From oyster reefs, to mangrove forests, to seagrass meadows, ocean ecosystems provide countless benefits for people and nature. Healthy, well-managed marine protected areas can:

🎣 Support the growth of more robust fish populations important to local fishers
🏖 Help mitigate the effects of climate change on coastal communities by acting as carbon sinks and buffers against storm impacts
🐚 Provide critical habitats for diverse species

🔥 Believe it or not, campfire season is here, and so is a simple way to protect our forests.

Invasive pests can hitch a ride on firewood moved just a few miles. That’s why we’re spreading the word through our Don’t Move Firewood campaign: https://www.dontmovefirewood.org

Bottom line: Buy it where you burn it!

A small action can make a big difference for the places we love.
