Completed Land Projects

The Dan Hole Pond Watershed Trust (DHPWT) has granted a conservation easement to the Lakes Region Conservation Trust (LRCT) in October 2019 to ensure the protection of the Charles Norman Munroe Preserve forever.

The Town of Moultonborough granted a conservation easement to LRCT in June 2019 to ensure the protection of 37 acres of land along the Red Hill River and Lee’s Pond.

The Lakes Region Conservation Trust expanded the Red Hill Conservation Area with the acquisition of 88 acres on the northeast flank of Red Hill in March 2019.

LRCT has acquired a conservation easement that protects 1,615 acres owned by The Farm Trust in Tamworth, New Hampshire.

LRCT and the Gilford Conservation Commission worked together to conserve 273 acres on Piper Mountain in Gilford. This property encompasses Piper’s open summit (elevation 2,044′), the surrounding unfragmented forest and wild habitat, and parts of key hiking trails. The project was completed in January 2017, with LRCT owning the land and the Town of Gilford holding a conservation easement.

The Lakes Region Conservation Trust and the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests (Forest Society), along with the Belknap Range Conservation Coalition and its members, including the towns of Alton and Gilford, are very grateful to extraordinarily generous donors who helped us complete the campaign to conserve four key parcels of land in the Belknap Range.
