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.

This week Jason Berard, Vice President of Stewardship, was out at Lyme Hill Conservation Area searching for one of his favorite early 🌼spring wildflowers, sharp-lobed hepatica. Other signs of spring`s arrival were spotted earlier in the week including the return of buffleheads, beaked hazelnut flowers, and sliver maple flowers. 👀Keep your eye out for these signs the next time you`re out in the woods!
Another great sign of spring is the awakening of our vernal pools and the return of the amphibians that use them to breed. If you would like to enjoy theses early signs of spring and explore some vernal pools, join us for our Annual Vernal Pool walk at our Brookmead Conservation Area on Saturday, April 12th!

🐾 Happy #fieldnotesfriday ! 🐾
This week our Stewardship team collected data from a wildlife camera we have on one of our conservation areas in the #uppervalley. We were delighted to see footage of all kinds of activity happening around this bobcat den 🐱! One of the behaviors we caught on camera was the `scent marking battle` happening between the bobcat and visiting coyote. Both are very territorial animals and like to use rocky outcroppings as dens. So we may be witnessing some coyote jealousy since the bobcat got to this cozy den first!
We are so happy to see all of this wildlife activity on our conserved land. It just reminds us how important it is to keep land conserved so we can continue to protect all of this great wildlife habitat! 🌳🐾
