About Tuthill's Woodland PreserveThe 195 acres at the Tuthill’s Woodland Preserve is part of the Piscataquog Land Conservancy (PLC) which was founded in 1970. The PLC is a private, non-profit whose mission is to conserve land, water and wildlife within the Merrimack valley of New Hampshire. As of January 1, 2020, PLC holds interests in 126 properties totaling just over 8,000 acres of land. The PLC announced in their 2017 Fall newsletter that a timber harvest would be scheduled for the upcoming winter at the Tuthill’s Woodland Preserve. Evidence of that recent harvest can be seen along the trail where areas of large open space allow for new growth to take place.

Before you leave...
MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller / Admin. As the main contributor and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my experiences from hikes and backpacking trips on MyHikes for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, and site maintainance . I simply ask that if you find our content helpful or useful when planning your next adventure that you consider making a small donation to help keep the site running.
You can become a Supporter* (*MyHikes user account required) to unlock perks for as little as $0.83/month with a 1-time non-recurring payment 👍 Or you can simply Donate any amount without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing to a donation - both quick and free 😄
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike! ✌
