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.)
Easton residents are eligible to participate in the Tri-town Recreation Programs.
