David Rochefort

MILAN — State Sen. David Rochefort (R-Littleton) will be hosting a rally Wednesday to save northern New Hampshire’s forests starting at 5:30 p.m., Dec. 10 at Milan Lumber Co., 318 Milan Road. Concern over the purchase of carbon credits by entities outside of New Hampshire and that would limit logging and timber harvests in the state’s most northern forests is one topic likely to be mentioned at the gathering. Another is a lawsuit brought by the Vermont-based Standing Trees against the White Mountain National Forest Service, as reported in November 2024 by news outlet InDepth.org. The Society for the Protection of NH Forests is in support of the WMNF’s plans.
