And a link to an article:

In its Autumn issue, the NH Forest Society (SPNH), has a multi-page spread of Mt. Major—including a long essay on "Voices of Mt. Major" / "Protecting the EVERYBODY Mountain". It's the most information-packed issue I can remember.

Articles also appear on SPNH' Conservation efforts, "Hiking the Belknap Range", "Something Wild", NH radio broadcasts of the Monarch butterfly and America's finest songbird's leisurely return-migration from NH. (Wood Thrush).

Photographed and discussed are the many volunteers who keep SPNH' forested purchases open for hikers, the SPNH easements that block Northern Pass and the rough-hewn NH citizens who don't sell out to developers, but donate land for conservancy.

SPNH' Autumn issue is a superb one, and can be read here:
