The Nelson Family Farm, an 88-acre conservation easement on the northeast side of Lake Massasecum in Bradford, is part of one the "Great Lots", granted to John Mason by the King of England in the 17th century. The Nelson Family’s connections to the land dates back to the early 1920’s and are only the third family to hold title to the property! For many years, the farm served as a summer home, not only for the Nelson family, but their numerous friends. When Olive Nelson could no longer care for the property, a family farm corporation was organized to handle the details of ownership.

Whit and Polly Spaulding worked with Ausbon Sargent and the New England Forestry Foundation to protect 2.8 acres of their land, which abuts the 130 acres of Little Sunapee Memorial Forest. The addition of this property to the Forest provides much needed access to that portion of the Forest south of the brook that runs from Little Sunapee Lake to Goose Hole. The land will remain forested to continue to protect watershed quality.
Public access is allowed.

Robert O’Neil donated this conservation easement on a 22.3-acre portion of his Sutton property located along NH Route 114 and Johnson Hill Road.  The easement will help to protect not only the abundant wildlife habitat in that area, but also several bodies of water including Russell Pond and Blaisdell Lake.  The property has highly ranked forestry and agricultural soils and is listed as “farmland of local significance.”  The O’Neil easement is adjacent to the existing Russell Pond Conservation Easement, making this area around the pond a haven for wildlife.

In 2002, a group of concerned neighbors in East Andover co-purchased a 54-acre parcel of land to protect it from future development. The group, including Alex Bernhard and Myra Mayman, Fritz and Barbara Hunting, Joyce Jones, Jon and Vicki Mishcon, and Lori Cox, named the property Old College Road Preserve. After more than 10 years of ownership, the property owners approached Ausbon Sargent Land Protection Specialist, Andy Deegan, to discuss their desire to gift full ownership of Old College Road Preserve to the land trust.

Dr. Edward C. Parkhurst and his wife Anne have given a conservation easement on 2.66 acres of their property on Woody Point Road. This encompasses 759 feet of shore frontage on Little Lake Sunapee, protecting the lovely cove to the west of Woody Point Road. This conservation easement eliminates three possible building lots, and ensures that the entire Parkhurst property will remain a single-family residence. The Parkhurst property is adjacent to the New England Forestry Foundation protected land across Little Sunapee Road.

The Patten property is primarily undeveloped and consists of a mix of fields and forest. It contains prime agricultural soils which are rare in the state of New Hampshire. The property is listed as Supporting Landscapes under the 2010 Wildlife Action Plan. It falls within the buffer for New Hampshire Fish and Game’s McDaniels Marsh with one intermittent and one perennial stream that flow across the property into McDaniels Marsh. To insure the protection of the water quality of McDaniels Marsh, New Hampshire Fish and Game listed the property as a target for conservation.

The land is located on the north side of Hoyt Road and the east side of Philbrick Road in Andover. It consists of 41.77 acres, more or less, and includes a homestead or "unrestricted area" of 5.60 acres. With approximately 1,400 feet of frontage along Hoyt Road, the property is visible to the general public. The land includes a mixture of forest, open field, abandoned sugar orchard and pasture, creating a diverse range of vegetative conditions, which attracts numerous wildlife populations.

In 1980, as a memorial to her husband Stephen, summer resident Bessie Wright Phillips of Salem, MA gifted 71 acres on Otter Pond to the Town of New London.  The property is owned by the Town of New London and managed by the New London Conservation Commission. It has over 1,600 feet of frontage on Otter Pond and over 700 feet of frontage on Otter Pond Brook which flows from Goose Hole Pond into Otter Pond. The Phillips Preserve is open to the public for low impact recreation, offering significant trails on the property.

Mrs. Bessie Phillips also granted an easement for 43.1 acres of forests and open fields on the east side of Burpee Hill Road. Combining the acreage of four other easements, Mrs. Phillips protected a total of 175.5 acres of open fields and forest with over one-half mile of roadside stonewalls, lined with lovely sugar maples visible to the general public. The 43.1 acre parcel abuts 64.5 acres of protected land owned by the Stanley Farm Association. Forestry and agricultural activities are permitted.
