Updates about the Upcoming Piscassic Greenway Timber Harvest

This fall we will be undertaking a timber harvest at the Piscassic Greenway. The harvest is anticipated to begin in early September and last into November. This timeframe may change depending on ground conditions and other unforeseen circumstances. The extent of the harvest will span approximately 58 acres in the eastern part of the Piscassic Greenway, accessed via Neal Mill Road.  Please see the map here  for the harvest area.  After this harvest is complete, we anticipate similar harvests will be carried out in different areas at the Piscassic Greenway between 2026 and 2028.  The last harvest was completed in 2011-2012.  For more on the harvest please visit this webpage .

Stonehouse Forest Timber Harvest Scheduled for this Winter Begins January 6

Image
In early 2022, SELT finalized a management plan for Stonehouse Forest written by natural resource professionals and approved by SELT’s conservation partners, including NH Fish and Game. Guided by this plan, we have begun to implement some of the recommended management activities, including timber harvests to improve overall forest health. SELT is now beginning a timber harvest on approximately 150 acres of Stonehouse Forest. Weather permitting, this will occur between approximately January 6th, 2025 and early March 2025. Please see map below for the harvest area. The harvest operation will be conducted near portions of the Bog trail and Marison trail, which will remain open at this time, and along Marsh Road. Please stay on-trail (visitors and pets) near the harvest area shown on the map below, exercise caution, and do not approach machinery. .
