At Timberland, our mission is to equip people to improve their world by creating outstanding products and making a difference in the communities where we live and work. One key project we support is the Great Green Wall, an African-led movement to grow a line of trees across the entire width of the continent to fight climate change, drought, famine, conflict, and migration.The Abington Shoe Company soon moved to Newmarket, New Hampshire, located in a tiny corner of New England known for its majestic mountain ranges, rocky shorelines, dense forests, rivers, lakes, and access to great east coast cities.
