Preserve Land Works: Trail Maintenance Leadership, Monadnock Conservancy & Eastern Mountain Sports, Peterborough, NH

Peterborough, NH is the home of Eastern Mountain Sports which employs hundreds of folks enthusiastic about the outdoors. This source of hearty volunteers came in handy in 2008 when the Monadnock Conservancy sought help for cleaning up their trail on a piece if land they own in Peterborough. The Conservancy requested the involvement of Preserve Land Works in organizing and leading the cleanup and repair of the short trail, which with the help of 20 people went real quick. With time to spare, we moved north to the Walcott Preserve in Hancock, NH, where we cleaned the trail through this town conservation land. EMS generously allowed their employees the day off for this volunteering, and they gave us all a great bar-b-que after!

Our Philosophy

Conservation Science, Ecological Forestry, and Environmental Education services offered by a group that is truly passionate about this Earth and its wise stewardship. Our approach to this work is nothing new, but it is vastly underappreciated in the wider realm of business and land management. Today, our vision is founded in the vision of one of conservation's fathers, who began his career 100 years ago:

"A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the community. The land ethic simply enlarges the boundaries of the community to include soils, waters, plants and animals, or collectively; the land." ~ Aldo Leopold, 1949
