Conserving our natural resources
for wildlife and humans
As authorized by NH State Law RSA 36-A, members volunteer their time to study and protect the natural resources of our town by:
Conducting research into local land and water areas;
Maintaining an index of all open space and natural, aesthetic, or ecological areas in town;
Maintaining an index of all marshlands, swamps, and other wetlands.
These resources allow the Commission to:
Develop long-term plans and strategies for the protection of Gilsum’s natural resources and Town properties;
Provide outreach and education on Gilsum’s natural resources, conservation goals, and conserved lands for residents, town committees, the Ashuelot River Local Advisory Committee, and the NH Department of Environmental Services.

Meetings held on Wednesday nights at the Gilsum Public Library as needed
