Project ClosingsCrotched Mountain West, BenningtonCongratula�ons to the Francestown Land Trust, Inc.(FLT)! FLT has acquired 119-acres on the west face ofCrotched Mountain in Bennington, the last large parcelof land on the Mountain. The newly conserved land,along with an exis�ng 2,500-acre conserva�on block,preserves regional views of the undevelopedmountainside and protects public access to popularhiking trails and hun�ng grounds. This project was a2017 LCHIP award recipient and completes the FLT'sini�a�ve, first launched in the late 1980s, to protectCrotched Mountain.

Bodwell Farm North, KensingtonThe Southeast Land Trust of New Hampshire (SELT) hasprotected the final 200+ acres of the Bodwell DairyFarm in Kensington. One of only five remainingcommercial dairies in Rockingham County, SELT hasmade this six-genera�on farm a top priority in its effortto protect important farmland. Recipient of two LCHIPgrant awards, Bodwell Farm provides the surroundingcommunity with milk, cheese, meats and other farmproducts while also maintaining cri�cal open space,wildlife habitat, and scenic strolls that remind passers-by of a more agrarian past. Read more aboutKensington's Bodwell Farm here.

Kimball Jenkins Estate, ConcordIn Concord, the Carolyn L. Jenkins Charitable Trust concludedroof repairs to an elaborate Victorian carriage house on theleafy grounds of the Kimball Jenkins Estate. Designed in the1870s, the outbuilding is an impressive adjunct to a large mainhouse and other buildings that together now house an artschool. A�er over a century, the structure's slate roof, copperflashing and gu�ers needed repairs. LCHIP awarded funds lastyear, and the organiza�on moved quickly to execute a projectagreement in January, write a stewardship plan in February,present a detailed proposed scope of work in March, finishfundraising in April, and conclude the work in May.Congratula�ons to a job well done!

The other is an assessment of condi�ons atClaremont's towering 1895 City Hall and Opera House,
