Exploration of the Ossipee Pine Barrens
The Ossipee Pine Barrens is the largest remaining pine barrens ecosystem in New Hampshire. Considered globally rare, pine barrens are home to a variety of unique wildlife and depend on repeated fire for their maintenance and regeneration. Come explore the Ossipee Pine Barrens Preserve with Jeff Lougee, the Director of Land Management at The Nature Conservancy, and learn about the work TNC is doing to maintain this unique ecosystem using prescribed fire and other approaches. This will be an easy 1.5-mile hike along accessible trails and woods roads.
