Page Pond and Forest
Credit: Jerry and Marcy Monkman
The residents of Meredith, New Hampshire have long considered Page Pond and its surrounding forest and wetlands an identifying feature of the community. So when the land came up for sale in 2007, volunteers lined up to help preserve it. The 567-acre property in eastern Meredith was a top conservation priority because of its recreational uses, wildlife habitat, and its importance as a key northern watershed influencing the water quality of Lake Winnipesaukee. It features an unfragmented forest; the completely undeveloped, 19-acre Great Pond; and an extensive wetland complex.
TPL acquired and transferred the land to the town in January 2009 and the town's Conservation Commission has opened the property for year-round low-impact recreation, including hiking, cross-country skiing, hunting, fishing, canoeing, bird watching and nature appreciation. As a community owned and managed asset, public access and recreation will continue in perpetuity.
