The days are getting shorter and the air is getting crisper. That's right, it's hunting season. Please remember to wear orange! Hunting is allowed in Boscawen's Town Forests and the use of tree stands is allowed. Please be aware of the NH requirement to label your tree stand with your name and contact information and to remove it by June 1st. Tree stands not in compliance with state law may be removed. See this post from NH Fish and Game for more information.

Hello and welcome! If you know where you're headed then the navigation bar at the top of the page is likely the quickest way there. Otherwise read on to see what resources are available on this website.

Boscawen's Conservation Commission is a group of volunteers working together to preserve the Town's natural resources and make these resources available to the community in a sustainable way. Click here to learn more about the Commission or to contact us.

Our Town Forests include over 20 miles of hiking trails and access to Walker Pond, one of the least developed Great Ponds in New Hampshire. Maps, directions, and other information can be found here.

Aside from the Town Forests the Commission is involved in a number of other projects in Town. The Morrill Easement is the largest of several easements and was purchased in a joint venture with the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. Timber harvests occasionally take place on Town land. These are done primarily to preserve the health of the forest, but are also a source of revenue. To learn about these and other projects, look here.

Under the heading of links you will find a list of websites curated by Commission that includes partner organizations, other local conservation organizations, resources for further education, and other sites of particular interest.
