Land Conservation


Branch Hill, Milton Mills, NH

Land conservation is vital to foxhunting. It is a central tenant of both the MFHA and the Wentworth Hunt Club. Throughout the year, we work closely with various conservation groups to help preserve open land for equestrian and foxhunting use. The majority of our territories leverage conservation easements from land trusts and conservation organizations. Without their work, our hunt would cease to have open land over which to follow hounds. Conservation is vital to the future of not just Wentworth Hunt, but foxhunting in general.

We continue to work with and donate to the following land trusts and conservation groups:

How We Help

Every year, Wentworth Hunt hosts a Conservation Hunter Pace in August, devoting part of the proceeds to conservation groups.

Our members have donated their time at fund-raising events, such as MMRG’s annual “Woods, Water & Wildlife Festival” and the “Explore Powder Major” community event, hosted by SPNHF, in October 2016. Hunt members helped cleanup the historic John DeMeritt cemetery and performed other trail maintenance and mowing for our conservation groups.

Additionally, we work closely with the New Hampshire Horse Council to collectively work to keep land open and be good stewards of the conservation land so equestrian use will be allowed.

How You Can Help

As you look for charitable contribution options, here is one near and dear to the hearts of Wentworth Hunt:

  • The Society for the Protection of NH Forests has successfully conserved Powder Major Farm that is part of our Tuckaway Farm and kennel territory. They still need donations for trail upgrades and territory maintenance. Thank you!
