1200 acres protected

Northeast Wilderness Trust completed the first phase of the acquisition of the Wapack Wilderness in New Hampshire. The purchase, which we supported with a $30,000 grant in 2006, secures the most ecologically valuable 1,200 acres of the Wapack Wilderness. NEWT now has one year to raise funding to purchase the final 200 acres of the area.
