Scientists Protect 116 Acres Near Bear Brook Park After 25 Years

In 1997, scientists Laura Bonk and Phil Trowbridge purchased 116 acres near New Hampshire's Bear Brook State Park. After 25 years, they placed the Derevya Farms property under a permanent conservation easement, protecting its forests, wetlands, waterways, and wildlife habitat while retaining ownership. This effort ensures long-term preservation of the land's natural environment.
