Silver Lake Land Trust, Harrisville & Nelson, NH

On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Silver Lake Land Trust, thanks to all of our members and guests who attended the 2026 Annual Meeting at Brantwood Camp in Nelson on a beautiful Saturday morning. Also, thanks to Brantwood for allowing us to use the camp, and thanks to Ryan Owens of the New England Forestry Foundation for his talk and Q&A.

I’ve attached a draft copy of preliminary minutes of the meeting, which will be submitted for approval (pending and corrections) to the 2027 Annual Meeting in August, 2027.
