SELT Stories

Mission: ACCESS
Thanks to cutting-edge tech, the goal to get as many people as possible on SELT trails is no longer impossible.

Sustainability for All
A blockbuster trade where everybody wins (especially those who love clean drinking water!)

The Trifecta
What do you call a 72-acre property that is so perfectly positioned it protects three sources of drinking water? A conservation unicorn.

The Great Raccoon Release
If you're a rescued raccoon ready to be re-released into nature, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better second home than Stonehouse Forest.

The Long Ride Back
Welcome to Horsepilot Farm, where you'll find rolling fields, thriving forests, abundant wildlife, a helicopter pilot, an equestrian, and a shared life filled with tragedies, triumphs, and everything in between

Back to the Greenway
The Piscassic Greenway has always beckoned to Wayne. But the fallout from a brutal accident left him dependent on a wheelchair to get around, making trail use a challenge. Until the TerrainHopper arrived.

Conservation Coming Down the Pike
There’s 36 acres - and there’s 36 acres. The Pike property is the latter, a small but mighty land that protects the drinking water for the Town of Durham and UNH, gives shelter to valuable wildlife, and connects to a tapestry of conserved land.

The Open Space
This land is laced with more than just memory and history; it is a hub of coastal watershed protection, mature hardwood forests, diverse wildlife habitat, and farm-ready soils.

Clarity of Purpose
The conservation o the Landry property in Barrington has protected the waters of Nippo Lake – and the memories that have been created for generations.

The Legacy of Elisha Locke
How one man went from the Civil War battlefield to the Barrington farm field, and charted a path to a contemporary conservation mosaic.

Oh, Ardnaberrry!
In the coastal cradle of Rye, a special land with a long, eccentric history and a name you won't soon forget has been conserved for all time - and the seacoast community is better for it.

Kid-Powered, Mother Nature-Approved
For a group of nature-defending, power-tool-curious fifth graders, getting outside and using their hands to benefit the living landscape of Stonehouse Forest is as great a school day as you could ask for.

No Water, No City
The Rochester Water Works team carries forward a legacy of conservation-powered, forward-thinking H20 protection and SELT is proud to partner with them on a journey that connects the past to the present.
