FUN-raising for Conservation

 
 

🌱 MicroExploring the SuperSanctuary
Coming this spring 2026

It’s not just a guidebook. It’s a love letter to the wild corners of the Monadnock Region β€” the small trails, forgotten roads, swampy woods, and open skies that make this place feel sacred.

Written with reverence and curiosity, MicroExploring the SuperSanctuary invites readers to rediscover the extraordinary in the overlooked β€” to walk slowly, notice more, and fall in love with nature all over again.

Every chapter is rooted in real places, written by real explorers: local naturalists, guides, birders, writers, and dreamers. This is conservation through connection. It’s for hikers, wanderers, bikers, birders, and anyone longing to reawaken their sense of place.

We’ve poured our hearts into this project, and now we need your help to bring it into the world. Your donation directly supports the printing and production of this book β€” and helps us keep sharing these stories with those who need them most.

This book is not about us, it’s for all of us.

MicroExploring the SuperSanctuary, is more than a bookβ€”It is a quiet movement and revolution in how we explore the land around us.

Why This Book Matters

The SuperSanctuary in southwest New Hampshire is a patchwork of conserved forests, wetlands, trails, farms, and old village roads. For decades, it has offered refuge not only to wildlifeβ€”but to those of us seeking belonging, beauty, and stillness. Living in this paradise is a privilege and it is extremely important now to help people connect to nature and the conserved landscapes that sustain us.


Our Core Themes

🌿 Connecting to nature is the medicine we all need.

🌿 Conservation and stewardship of the SuperSanctuary is a model that should be replicated anywhere.

🌿 Exploring your local region is one of the most exciting adventures you can do.
