Welcome to the Pemi - Baker Land Trust (PBLT). We are a small, local land trust serving the towns of the Baker River and upper Pemigewasset River Valleys in central New Hampshire. Because we are a small regional land trust we can serve people with smaller parcels of land that are not of interest to the large land trust such as the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests or The Trust for Public Lands.
PBLT covers lands in or parts of: Benton, Campton, Dorchester, Ellsworth, Groton, Holderness, Lincoln, Orford, Piermont, Plymouth, Rumney, Thornton, Warren, Wentworth, and Woodstock, a region defined more by watershed than political boundaries.
We currently protect six properties, three through direct ownership and two by conservation easement. We own the 45 acre Quincy Bog, the 92-acre Quincy Pastures Forest on East Rumney Road, and the 5-acre Baker Forest on the Quincy Road in Rumney. We hold a conservation easement on a 136-acre parcel in Dorchester, NH and two easments in Rumney, NH: a 130 acres off upper Stinson Lake Road and 26 acres off lower Stinson Lake Road along the Baker River.
If you have property in the upper Pemigewasset or Baker River valleys that you would like protected from development by a conservation easement or other means, please contact us. We would be pleased to discuss possibilities with you.

The Pemi-Baker Land Trust announced recently that a conservation easement was donated to the group by the late Dr. Sidney Paly and his wife Mrs. Elizabeth Paly, protecting "in perpetuity" 26 acres of critical land and 1300 feet of shoreline along the Baker River on Stinson Lake Road in the town of Rumney.
