Conservation Commission

---

NH RSA 36-A, provides a Conservation Commission with the basic purpose to identify, protect and conserve the land and water resources of their community. Charged by RSA 482-A, and RSA 483-B the Commission reviews local wetland applications and, in conjunction with the NH Wetlands Bureau, is involved in the NH Shoreland Protection Act.   In addition, the Commission has responsibility in the review process of sand and gravel permitting under RSA 155-E.

In addition to responding to wetland issues as requested and reviewing formal applications, the Commission works with town, county, state and federal officials and a number of NH and regional groups and agencies on a variety of issues. 

Meetings are held at 7:00pm on the second Thursday of every month at the Town Hall.  The public is encouraged to attend. westmorelandcomcom@gmail.com
