Halfway Home: Balsams Campaign Reaches $425K

The Save the Balsams Landscape campaign reached the halfway mark in the Forest Society's effort to raise $850,000 to conserve 5,800 acres surrounding the historic Balsams hotel in Dixville Notch, NH. As of noon on Wednesday, January 4 the Forest Society has received payments or pledges totalling $425,000.

"We can feel the momentum building," said Jane Difley, president/forester of the Forest Society. "Supporters of forest conservation are as determined as we are to reach our goal and protect the landscape of Dixville Notch."

Balsams Contributions Top $400K

Continued strong online donations continue to fuel the Save the Balsams Landscape campaign with totals reaching the $400,000 mark.

"We're so grateful to everyone who's donated so far," said Jane Difley. "It's clear that one of the things that is helping the campaign is that supporters of this project are forwarding on emails and links to our website (www.forestsociety.org/balsams) to their friends and colleagues who may have an interest or know someone who does."
