The land was conserved in 2010 through a unique collaboration of three conservation partners – LRCT, which owns the land, and the Squam Lakes Conservation Society (SLCS) and the Town of Center Harbor, which hold the conservation easement.
The forests and wetlands of Center Harbor Woods provide significant wildlife habitat. Moose, bear, and deer are known to inhabit the area and the four-toed salamander has been documented here – the first time in central New Hampshire! The property contains a network of trails available for four-season use that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Center Harbor Woods connects to LRCT’s 121-acre Pine Hill Conservation Area and NH Audubon’s 47-acre Proctor Sanctuary. Together these properties provide almost 400 acres of conservation land.
