We’re a hardworking, homegrown group that depends on people like you. Over the past 34 years, we’ve protected over 500 parcels of land and more than 52,000 acres. Thousands of people have participated in these accomplishments and in the ongoing stewardship of conserved properties. It takes all of us, working together, to choose a vibrant, resilient and sustainable future for the Upper Valley — and to make it happen.
Indigenous People have cared for this land for centuries. The lands that the Upper Valley Land Trust owns, conserves, and works on, and the land on which we all live, are the traditional, ancestral, unceded homelands of the indigenous people of the Abenaki Nation, a tribe of the Wabanaki Confederacy.
Indigenous People are not gone, they live here and are a part of the past, present, and future of our land and our communities. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Abenaki people, past and present.

🦝 Coyotes, Raccoons, and Bears, Oh My! 🐻
Happy #fieldnotesfriday (On a Monday!)
This week UVLT Stewardship Staff gathered footage from the last few weeks on multiple trail cameras at UVLT #ConservationAreas. We are certainly not the only ones enjoying the Spring weather and early blooms! Our forests are bustling with activity from all kinds of wildlife, including coyotes, foxes, porcupines, bears, and even beavers 🦫
In the springtime, animals become more active, arising from winter sleep, migrating, breeding—because, with the warmth, 🌱plants grow and food becomes more abundant. Here at UVLT, we are incredibly grateful that our conserved lands make for great habitat for local wildlife and give them ample space for all of their springtime activities!

🌼Happy #fieldnotesfriday ! 🌼
This week Cassie Bernyk, Stewardship Programs Coordinator, was out hiking the trails at our #UpontheHillConservationArea in Charlestown, NH when she came across various spring ephemerals. This included flowering 🌸 spring beauties (Claytonia caroliniana), sharp-lobed hepatica (Hepatica acutiloba), yellow trout lilies (Erythronium americanum), and bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis).
UVLT #ConservationAreas are great spots to search for #wildflowers ! 🌷Right now you can see a variety of your favorite spring ephemerals blooming at multiple properties. This includes Lyme Hill Conservation Area, Brookmead Conservation Area, and Zebedee Wetland. We hope you`re able to enjoy the beauty of these early wildflowers before they leave us until next spring!
