We’ve got mail!

August 19, 2020

Wooden mailbox on the summit of Balch Hill This fun mailbox on the summit of Balch Hill is filled with pens and postcards so visitors can write a note with their favorite memories of this natural area, whose summit we protected 50 years ago.

Some notes so far: “I am 7 1/2 years old and my Dad brought me here today for the first time! Thank you for keeping this place open. I love the butterflies.”

“This hike is magical. I do it weekly. We are privileged to life in such a beautiful place as this.”

“In honor of Dr. Susan Harper; a mentor and beautiful spirit whose legacy will flourish in the Upper Valley forever.” For more about Susan, visit the News page of our website.
