The Gilford Conservation Commission voted this month to contribute $110,000 to the campaign to conserve the Belknap Mountains and trails. One of the four parcels that the Lakes Region Conservation Trust (LRCT) and Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests are attempting to protect is in Gilford, and the $110K from the Gilford Conservation Fund will go specifically to that parcel.
"One of the best things about this whole project is the extent to which multiple organizations and individuals are coming together to support it," said Don Berry of LRCT. "It's clear to me that the members of the Gilford Conservation Commission really understand the importance of protecting key undeveloped parcels within the town. We truly appreciate their support."
If the campaign is successful, LRCT will own and manage the property in Gilford, keeping it open to the public.
