Please respect the land, privacy, and wishes of the landowners. Motorized vehicles, camping, and open fires are strictly prohibited on all ACT properties.  

ACT, formed in 1999, is a nationally accredited land trust based in Franconia, NH. ACT's mission is to conserve lands in the Ammonoosuc Watershed to forever protect the scenic beauty, recreational amenities, working farms, productive forests, clean water, and wildlife habitats of the region for people and wildlife.
