Mapping Protected Lands and Natural Features of Roxbury, N.H. and Surroundings

Private landowners in Roxbury requested a detailed conservation lands map for their own uses. They enjoy exploring the wild lands around them, but a good regional map is not available. This is a problem common to southwestern New Hampshire; plenty of open spaces to enjoy but few maps showing any detail. In addition to navigation, our clients, Amy & Carol, have discussed the possibility of protecting their own 17 acres. The map shows to them the various entities involved in land conservation in the area, the levels of protection of these areas, and it highlights the connectivity of these lands. A surprising 5,300 acres of conservation land are contiguous, and only minutes from the city of Keene. Amy & Carols property, which has extensive frontage on Spectacle Pond, would expand that base of contiguous conservation land and continue on the thoughtful work of many landowners, municipalities, and land trusts who have over the years amassed this impressive block of protected land.
