New Belknaps Project in Alton
BRCC is working with the forest society on nearly 500 acres of land to be conserved to the North and South of the Morse Preserve. The southerly tract is a 220-acre parcel that includes the ridgeline that travels south from Pine Mountain and links to the 203-acre Alton Bay State Forest. This property includes a southwesterly facing cliff and rock ledges with a talus slope below. The northerly tract is a 270 - acre parcel which stretches from the Morse Preserve to Jesus Valley Road. The Forest Society will be working to complete both of these projects over this fall and winter. Project costs are $164,000. Please support this project by donating to the Forest Society here: https://forestsociety.org/project/morse-additions

Success! This property has been conserved!
The Lakes Region Conservation Trust teamed up with the Gilford Conservation Commission on this Conservation Project in Gilford. Previously, LRCT and Conservation Commission successfully conserved Piper Mountain and the Jail Pasture. This time, LRCT and the Commission worked to conserve the Weeks Property, a 65 acre parcel along Belknap Mountain Road that abuts other conservation land on the village side of Gunstock Mountain. The property has now been conserved and work has begun on planning trails and a parking lot. A celebration will be planned after this work is complete.
