I was happy to join in the NH Forest Society's campaign to raise funds to protect Black Mountain near Kearsarge Mt. (South).

The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests has raised the $1.2 million needed to acquire Black Mountain.
The forest society has been working to conserve the 1,025-acre property next to Mount Kearsarge in Sutton and Warner. Last week, the forest society appealed to the public for the last $14,000 it needed to buy the land. Forest society President Jane Difley said the organization received "a blizzard of donations."
The land contains more than a mile of the Lincoln Trail, used by hikers to summit Mount Kearsarge. The forest society plans to manage the property for hiking, hunting, fishing and snowmobiling.
Black Mountain, a secondary peak of Mount Kearsarge, had been advertised less than two years ago as a good site for a residential subdivision, according to the forest society.
