At NHACC we offer guidance and training to our conservation commissioners on a variety of issues including conservation funding, natural resource inventory, and many other topics. We help educate our members with programs like Lunch & Learn and the in-depth Community Conservation Cohort training.
We publish the Handbook for New Hampshire’s Municipal Conservation Commissions, and the NH Municipal Conservation Fund Guidebook. We keep our members up-to-date with monthly E-newsletter and Legislative Updates.
