The Dahl Wildlife Sanctuary is made up of 56 acres in the Conway region of New Hampshire. It’s a small sanctuary, but a mighty one, protecting important examples of  Silver Maple, Sugar Maple, and White Ash floodplain forest.

A large portion of the sanctuary is floodplain forest. These wetlands are home to agriculturally rich soil which means they may have been irrigated or otherwise disturbed for farming use.

Under the sanctuary's protection the wetlands can be brought back to their natural wild state and the species that thrive in those environments can continue to.

There are a number of short but scenic trails throughout the sanctuary where you can get in a brisk walk and enjoy the local flora and fauna.
