Promoting the advancement of Recreation, Education, and Conservation

Upper Valley Stewardship Center

Since 1978, The Upper Valley Stewardship Center has actively managed over 1,500 acres of collaboratively-owned land bordering the White Mountain National Forest in Pike, NH. The mission of this collaboration is to provide a setting for the advancement of recreation, education, and conservation while responsibly balancing continued agricultural, forestry, conservation and wildlife habitat objectives.

Our miles of recreational trails welcome hikers, bikers, skiers, birders, and all who seek adventure and connection to nature. The Eve Outdoor Center’s ropes course and 45-foot climbing tower provide personal challenges and team building opportunities for all ages and abilities.

Recreation

The Upper Valley Stewardship Center serves as a space of growth and personal development and is home to a rich history of leadership in experiential learning.
