2022 Land Protection Grants
The Nashua, Squannacook, and Nissitissit Rivers Wild & Scenic Stewardship Council is pleased to announce that $20,000 in grant funding was awarded in 2022 through our Land Protection Grants Program. The Council awarded funding for two projects, both of which demonstrate strong commitment towards protecting the rivers’ resources and building local stewardship of the rivers in accordance with the Nashua, Squannacook, and Nissitissit Rivers Stewardship Plan.
The grants program supports municipalities, land conservation organizations, and state agencies in protecting the riverfront and watershed lands. The program furthers local conservation efforts by providing funds to support acquisition, transaction, due diligence, and management costs associated with land protection. The following projects received funding:
Brookline, NH Conservation Commission
