Exciting news for local food   As part of SELT’s focus on saving farmland for the future, Monahan Farm in East Kingston is now under a conservation easement. We also recently completed the first phase of conserving Bodwell Farm in Kensington. With help from many donors and partner organizations, SELT is ensuring these special farms will be protected for future generations.

Harveys' Kennard Hill Forest is conserved forever SELT and our partners closed on the conservation easement with the Harvey Family to save over 1,100 vital acres in Epping and Nottingham! More than 270 people and businesses contributed to the project, allowing us to conserve and steward this land for future generations!
