Springtime is when color and character return to New Hampshire’s forests. The leaves start budding out, the wildflowers emerge from the ground, and it’s still too early for the bugs! If you love to be outside as much as I do, it’s one of the best times of the year. The town of Barrington in southeastern New Hampshire has an extensive network of trails on conserved land.

Goodwill Conservation Area in Barrington is not only a place for conserved natural habitat, it is also home to something even more charming.
