Land Near Trail Possibly Being Preserved

According to the Foster's Daily Democrat online article titled "Owl's Head cliff could go to White Mountain National Forest" on 5 June 2007,
"A spectacular 800-foot cliff could be added to the White Mountain National Forest soon, if a nonprofit group is successful in acquiring 380 acres of private land near the Appalachian Trail.

"Owl's Head, a sheer granite cliff, could become a rock-climbing destination in the national forest. Peregrine falcons also have used the cliff as a nesting place.

"The land, which is less than a mile from the Appalachian Trail and is surrounded on three sides by the national forest, has been taken off the market...."
and might be purchased for preservation by the Trust for Public Land.
