About the Organization:

Since its founding in 1980, Tin Mountain Conservation Center (Tin Mountain), based in Albany, New Hampshire, has inspired children, adults, and families to connect with and care for the natural world. Tin Mountain has grown to become one of the leading conservation and environmental education organizations in the Greater Mount Washington Valley region of New Hampshire. Tin Mountain has engaged tens of thousands of children and adults over the last 45 years through its mission-driven work; promoting environmental appreciation and modeling responsible stewardship. Tin Mountain Conservation Center owns and manages approximately 2000 acres of land and close to 20 miles of trails across its 3 primary locations, including a recently constructed 1.2 mile Accessible Nature Trail across from its headquarters.

Tin Mountain carries out its mission through hands-on programs in schools, at camps, in the community, and through active research and land stewardship. This work is organized around four core programmatic areas:

In 2024–2025, Tin Mountain engaged in a strategic planning process, and developed a 3 year strategic plan that brought together staff, board members, volunteers, donors, members, and community partners.

• Strengthen its role as a regional conservation leader
• Execute a successful transition into its organization’s next chapter
• Secure its financial sustainability for the next generation
