Our Mission: Empowering new generations to appreciate, understand and wisely use the land through science, education and action.

NorthWoods is a non-profit 501(c)3 educational, research and conservation service organization serving the communities of northern Vermont and New Hampshire since 1989. Our unique combination of programs seeks to enhance understanding and appreciation of the role of the natural world, and to take direct and positive action in the restoration and conservation of our region’s natural resources. We offer programs in six key areas which interconnect to provide you and your family with the knowledge and skills you need to understand the northern landscape and make use of its resources wisely and comfortably.
