Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests

The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests is a private, non-profit land conservation and sustainable forestry organization based in the U.S. state of New Hampshire. It purchases or is given easements on property, or obtains outright ownership, as a way to conserve land for wildlife, recreation, sustainable forestry and sustainable agriculture. It also performs advocacy and education services. It was established in 1901.

As of 2017, the society owns more than 180 properties covering 54,000 acres (22,000 ha), holds conservation easements on more than 700 pieces of property covering 132,786 acres (53,737 ha), and has land transferred with deed restrictions on 94 properties, covering 13,377 acres (5,413 ha).

In addition to holding easements, the Forest Society acts as a resource for landowners and other, smaller conservation land trusts. Staff make presentations and host seminars for the public and other local land trusts. One of its larger events is an annual "Saving Special Places" workshop. Members of the public, town conservation commissions and land trusts attend seminars presenting information ranging from tax laws and conservation easement creation to fundraising techniques and marketing a land trust.

Among properties it owns are the Lost River Reservation in , and the Mount Monadnock Reservation, 4,450 acres (1,800 ha) in Jaffrey and Dublin.
