Since its permanent protection in 2015, the 1,114-acre Harvey’s Kennard Hill Forest has become an increasingly beloved property due to its rural beauty, diversity of habitats, and great views. SELT, working with the Harvey family, has established a public trail system for hiking, biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and similar recreational activities.
Remaining work will complete the public trail system, with three key goals:
- Rerouting and completing a loop trail to Kennard Hill, the highest point in Epping which affords wonderful views all the way to Mt. Agamenticus in Maine
- Improving public access through a gravel parking area and kiosk installed off of Blake Road
- Protecting sensitive stream and wetland crossings and improving access for hiking and horseback riding through the installation of three bridges
But we need your help! SELT needs to raise $19,200 to complete this work!
