Development of Five Rivers’ Regional Conservation Plan
April 2023 – Five Rivers Conservation Trust is developing a Regional Conservation Plan to guide our work in the strategic protection of the natural resources, productive forests and farmlands, and recreation opportunities in our region. Building from our recent strategic planning activities, this project will chart a course for Five Rivers’ work over the coming years. The Regional Conservation Plan will combine data on natural resources and resiliency, working landscapes, and accessibility, as well as local expertise, to identify the places that are most critical for us to conserve. This initiative will help Five Rivers strategically plan for the protection of the most important natural landscapes in our region!
The Five Rivers Conservation Trust service area includes 17 municipalities, including Belmont, Boscawen, Bow, Canterbury, Chichester, Concord, Dunbarton, Gilmanton, Hillsborough, Henniker, Hopkinton, Loudon, Northfield, Pembroke, Salisbury, Warner, and Webster. We look forward to hearing from community members, representatives from local conservation commissions and planning boards, and local experts on the future of conservation in our region. We anticipate having an event to hear from all in June!
