Don't miss Easton's summer picnic on Saturday, Aug 8.
Old Home Day
Easton residents represented the town at Franconia's Old Home Day parade on July 11th. Bev Lamanna, Judy Krueger and Ellison Suthoff carried the town's 150th Celebration banner! They were followed by Kathy Ryan, her granddaughter and Heidi Mei with a decorative wagon filled with candy for the parade spectators! It was a beautiful day to celebrate with the tri-town! Many thanks to Kevin Ryan for prepping the banner for us!
150th Celebration Garden Project
The Easton 150th Celebration Garden Project is coming along beautifully. The goal is to create a welcoming, low-maintenance garden that will beautify Town Hall and serve as part of Easton’s 150th celebration for years to come. Many residents have also generously offered plant donations from their home gardens, helping make this project a true community effort. More donations volunteers are always welcome!

Cooley-Jericho Community Forest
The Cooley Jericho Hills dominate the western views as one travels along the Easton Valley (NH RT 116). They are part of the Cooley-Jericho Community Forest, an 840 acre parcel of woodlands in Easton.
The CJCF was formed in a unique partnership between ACT (Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust), Easton and the adjacent towns of Sugar Hill, Landaff and Franconia. Although the land is solely in Easton, all the communities came together to raise funds to protect this land. It is truly a community resource.
The Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust (ACT) works with the towns and its advisors to promote multiple use management of the tract. They include; recreation, education, forestry and wildlife. Hiking and Mountain Bike Trails have been constructed in partnership with AMC (Appalachian Mountain Club), and volunteers. The land is utilized as an outdoor classroom for area schools. Currently, a partnership is being formed with the Backcountry ski association, to develop several glade skiing trails. The tract is home to a wide variety of native wildlife; moose, deer, bear, grouse, turkey and coyote can all be found here.
The properties trails can be accessed from the Trumpet Round Road, off the Dyke road in Sugar Hill, the Merrill Mt. road in Landaff and from the Jericho Trail (WMNF) on NH 116 in Easton. (Specific trail maps and directions can be found on the ACT website.)
