Press Release: Conservation Milestone for Horsepilot Farm
Exeter, NH – April 9, 2023 – The Southeast Land Trust of New Hampshire (SELT) has successfully safeguarded the 156-acre Horsepilot Farm, strategically located across East Kingston, Exeter, and Kensington. This essential conservation effort was driven by dedicated landowners Chris and Jill Rider, who have spent two decades navigating the complexities of preserving land that spans three towns.
Horsepilot Farm is at risk of development due to its prime location, making this conservation a significant achievement. The name "Horsepilot" reflects the Riders’ passions — Chris’s enthusiasm for flying and Jill’s equestrian background.
The preservation of Horsepilot Farm ensures that this vital piece of land can continue to serve the community, providing recreational opportunities and protecting local wildlife habitats. The collaboration between the Riders and SELT exemplifies a commitment to sustainable land use and the importance of community involvement in conservation efforts.
With this acquisition, SELT reaffirms its mission to conserve New Hampshire’s natural landscape, reducing threats of urbanization and fostering environmental stewardship among residents. As the project concludes, the community stands to benefit from the lasting legacy of Horsepilot Farm, ensuring its beauty and ecological value for future generations.
