Beaver Brook Association
Environmental Center, Trails and Gardens
Category: Hollis Nature near Nashua, New Hampshire
Description of this Nashua area Attraction: Beaver Brook Association was founded by Hollis P. Nichols and Jeffrey P. Smith, both of Hollis, New Hampshire. Beginning with just 12 acres of land in 1964, the two cousins dedicated their time and energies to creating a special land-based resource for young and old alike, a place that both fostered land stewardship awareness and encouraged a sense of appreciation for the natural world. During this time, the State of New Hampshire chartered Beaver Brook Association as an educational non-profit organization.
With the continued support and generosity of hundreds of caring individuals over the years, Beaver Brook's original 12 acre parcel has blossomed into 2,100 acres located in Hollis, Brookline, and Milford, New Hampshire! To continue the vision that Hollis and Jeff started in 1964, BBA now relies on a combination of memberships, programs, revenue from land management practices, and donations to help achieve our mission.
Hiking, biking, horseback riding, bird watching, snowshoe rentals and many other activities are enjoyed daily on the nearly 35 miles of trails at BBA. Each trail has been carefully mapped and designated for activities that will have the least impact on that particular area. Trails are open from dawn until dusk, seven days a week. Color-coded maps are available for $2.00 at the office. You may view our maps online by clicking on Trails & Maps.
Over 10,000 people participate in our organized classes and events throughout the year. Come and see.

Today, they are the fastest growing yogurt company in America and have won national recognition for their healthy products and environmental initiatives. Each year the company donates 10% of its profits to efforts that restore and protect the earth and educates millions of people about what they can do for their health and the health of the planet.

The tour begins with a lively video our silo cinema where you’ll learn about Stonyfield Farm’s early days and some of the things that make the company and its products special. You’ll then be guided down “Memory Lane”, an interesting display of memorabilia and notable milestones in their growth from their humble beginnings. Next, you’ll see the workings of the yogurt manufacturing as you walk down the production hallway and enter the viewing area, which includes a peek inside the quality control lab. You’ll observe how the cups are filled and how cases are packed and sent off to the incubators and chill cells on their way to stores all over the country.
The tour then takes you back to the newly expanded Visitors’ Center where you’ll enjoy free samples of their delicious products, made even more special by having seen how the whole process takes place.
The gift shop in the Visitors’ Center has a variety of items including (surprise!) all sorts of “cow paraphernalia”, as well as many Stonyfield Farm souvenirs.
