The Buzz is Building about the Mount Major Campaign

Thanks to a dedicated crew of volunteers greeting visitors at the Mount Major trailhead, the Mount Major campaign is a popular topic of conversation in the Belknaps and beyond. This is generating strong support for our efforts to conserve these lands. To date, we have received 558 gifts totaling $478,131. Many thanks to everyone who has helped us get off to a strong start!

Make a Donation, Get a Map!

The Belknap Mountains--including Mount Major--have hiking trails throughout. And while it's not too difficult to follow the well-worn trails to the top of Mount Major, it's handy to have a map to follow other trails.

Thanks in part to the hard work of the folks who have mapped those trails, we are offering a weatherproof Trail Map of the Belknap Range as a premium for a $50 dollar donation to the Campaign to Conserve the Belknap Mountains and Trails. You can make your donation online at www.forestsociety.org, or by calling 603-224-9945.

The Donations Roll In

In addition to the generous contributions from the Conservation Funds of the Towns of Gilford and Alton, private donations have been filling the Forest Society mailbox of late. Between individuals and foundations we have raised another $100,000 toward our goal of $1.8 million to conserve the Belknap Mountains and Trails (including parcels on Mount Major). Total to date? $440,000. The deadline is Dec. 1, 2013.
