As stated at their Web site, "Beaver Brook Association was founded by Hollis P. Nichols and Jeffrey P. Smith, both of Hollis, New Hampshire.
Beginning with just 12 acres of land in 1964, the two cousins dedicated their time and energies to creating a special land-based resource for young and old alike, a place that both fostered land stewardship awareness and encouraged a sense of appreciation for the natural world.
During this time, the State of New Hampshire chartered Beaver Brook Association as an educational non-profit organization."
The Association now includes gardens and 35 miles of trails located on 2,000 acres of land.
Twelve themed gardens, known as the Maple Hill Gardens, are part of Beaver Brook today.
Open to the public for daily viewing, "the gardens are maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers known as the Maple Hill Gardeners.
Optimum time for viewing the gardens is from April through October."
The Maple Hill Gardeners welcome volunteers throughout the year.
Enjoy a virtual visit at the Beaver Brook Association Web site.
