All New Hampshire lakes and ponds ten acres and larger are owned by the public and are held in the Public Trust for the use and enjoyment of current and future generations.
The Nature Conservancy continues its efforts to protect the Ossipee Pine Barrens, a globally rare ecosystem and important habitat for birds and rare moths.
The petition for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief was filed by lawyers for Focus: Tamworth on behalf of forty-six Tamworth residents and taxpayers.
Ultimately the Conservancy will use carefully prescribed burns in this pine barrens ecosystem that has depended upon fire for its maintenance and regeneration for thousands of years.
