September 2016: The Windham Forestry Committee is actively managing the properties now known as the McIlvaine Town Forest, in accordance with NH RSA 31:111.

One of the goals of our 10 year Forest Stewardship Plan is to support a multiple use concept in the forest. This includes recreational opportunities, wildlife habitat, conservation of soil and water resources, and sustainable long-term timber management. In doing this, we could use the public’s help.

Hunters, hikers, and other forest enthusiasts can help us monitor the local wildlife by emailing their observations to [email protected].

Interesting wildlife encounters or evidence, including photos if possible, are appreciated. Together we can work to keep our town forest environment as a great place for both wildlife and recreation. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
