The Northern Forest Center, in collaboration with partners across the region, has compiled a list of resources for landowners, community members, towns, and any other individuals or groups interested in conserving and managing forested land for a mix of uses and community benefit.
The Center has supported visionary economic development projects that sustain and create forest-based jobs while at the same time providing a range of community and environmental benefits through New Markets Tax credit financing.
Four New Hampshire communities and a local land trust own and manage this 843-acre property. The Center helped create this unique governance structure to make the project possible.
Our first Community Forest project in 2005 helped the town of Errol, NH, create a Community Forest that has generated $3.7 million in timber sales, supported the local economy, and given thousands of people a beautiful place to recreate.
