Mission Statement
The Conservation Commission is the official municipal agency charged with the responsibility for the proper utilization and protection of our town’s natural resources as defined in NH RSA 36-A. It is a seven-member board of appointed volunteers (with additional alternates). The Commission manages about 1400 acres of Town-owned conservation land, most notably the 900-acre Crotched Mt. Town Forest. The Commission applies for grants for land acquisition as well as a variety of conservation projects, monitors conservation easements held by the town, builds and maintains hiking trails, and organizes educational events, work days, clean-ups and Earth Week/Day observations.
For more information on the Conservation Commission properties and activities and how you can get involved, contact any Conservation Commission member.
