The Monadnock Conservancy
The Monadnock Conservancy is a land trust for southwestern New Hampshire established in 1989 that works with communities and landowners to conserve natural resources, wild and working lands, rural character, and the scenic beauty of the Monadnock region. The organization cares for conservation lands through conservation easements and outright ownership while engaging people in ways that strengthen their communities and connections to the land. As an accredited land trust since 2008, the Conservancy focuses on six key values: clean water, wildlife habitat, forests, farms, health and recreation, and children's connection to nature.
