Welcome

Harris Center names next Executive Director. . . read more here.

At the Harris Center for Conservation Education, we believe in connecting people and communities to the natural world.  Since its founding in 1970, the Harris Center has been a major force in environmental education, land conservation and stewardship in the Highlands of the Monadnock Region of Southern New Hampshire.

  • We believe in studying frogs in ponds instead of in pickle jars.  Learn how our education programs and school nature studies are making a difference in the Monadnock Region.
  • Discover why and how we are caring for local landscapes through our land protection efforts.  Learn how you can help.
  • Lace up your hiking boots or grab a paddle . . . attend a program or outing at the Harris Center or a nearby natural area, or join our citizen science efforts to protect migrating salamanders and other local wildlife.
