Help improve Harvey's Kennard Hill Forest for people and wildlife!

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
We need your help to raise the $19,000 to complete the remaining work!

Thank you for your understanding and if you have any questions please feel free to email us at trails@seltnh.org. If you're interested in helping out with trail maintenance on our properties, SELT's Trails and Community Engagement Manager Yohann Hanley would love to get you involved and has ma
