Stewardship Council Announces 2023 Land Protection Grants Program 

The Nashua, Squannacook, and Nissitissit Rivers Wild and Scenic Stewardship Council has announced the second year of their Land Protection Grants Program to support projects that protect and/or enhance the Nashua, Squannacook, and Nissitissit Rivers and their Outstandingly Remarkable Resource Values (ORRVs) as set forth in the Nashua, Squannacook, and Nissitissit Rivers Stewardship Plan (Stewardship Plan). 

The grants program aims to support municipalities, land conservation organizations, and state agencies in protecting the riverfront and watershed lands and building  strong local stewardship of the rivers in accordance with the Stewardship Plan.  The program will further local conservation efforts by providing funds to support  acquisition, transaction, and other due diligence costs associated with land protection.  

Applications will be accepted for projects within the communities along the Wild and Scenic designated rivers including: Ayer, Bolton, Dunstable, Groton, Harvard,  Lancaster, Pepperell, Shirley, and Townsend in MA; and Brookline and Hollis in NH.  Projects in other Nashua River watershed communities that benefit the ORRVs  associated with these three rivers may be accepted as well. 
 
Applications for 2023 Land Protection Grants Program are being accepted now through June 14, 2023. Awards will be announced by June 30, 2023. View the Request for Proposals and Grant Application for the 2023 program.
