Lovell River

Lovell RiverThe Lovell River property was bequeathed as a part of a large land gift to the University in 1939 by Frank S. Lord, a prominent resident of Carroll county. These properties were given so as to benefit the students of Carroll County and to help fulfill the University’s research and educational goals. This lot is periodically harvested as part of UNH’s sustainable timber harvesting program and a portion of all proceeds from the sale of timber goes towards scholarships for Carroll County students. The most recent commercial harvest on this property was in 2006.

The Lovell River property is approximately 490 acres and has extensive frontage on the Lovell River, which makes it an important tool for UNH research. Professors use these properties as outdoor classrooms and our researchers use them for study. As with its’ neighbor the Lord Farm, this lot has extensive variation in vegetation and topography. Notably there is a small black gum swamp near the ridge leading to sheep mountain.
