The Midnight Market 2026

The Bower lies at the heart of 900+ acres of working forest landscape managed by the team at North Country Land Stewards LLC and protected by conservation easements held by the New England Forestry Foundation (NEFF).

The conservation easement that ensures The Bower’s forest will remain undeveloped open land in perpetuity is one small part of the legacy of Dave and Tanya Tellman, dedicated forest stewards and outdoor educators who lived here for over fifty years. The Tellmans’ easement today protects a forest mosaic of diverse wildlife habitats, old growth stands, special wetland ecosystems, and much more.

The current land stewardship team continues the Tellmans’ mission to conserve open land for the benefit of future generations. Through exemplary forest management practices, wildlife habitat management, outdoor education, and guided ecotherapy programs, we aim to promote sustainable uses of The Bower for the benefit of our North Country community and visitors to this beautiful region.
