Land Conservation Initiatives
LAND CONSERVATION SELT conserved or assisted in the protection of 552 acres of land through 14 projects. Conservation work continued to focus on four key areas Living Landscapes, Clean Drinking Water, the Pawtuckaway to Great Bay Greenway initiative, and Farmland for the Future. Projects include SELT acquisition of fee lands and easements and assisting federal partners in acquiring conservation easements. Under our Living Landscapes initiative, SELT completed seven projects, with the highlight being two generous donations, one of fee interest to 76 acres along the Lamprey River and is now known as the Robert Rix Family Forest. The second donation was a 37-acre conservation easement along Hog Hill Brook, a regionally significant wildlife connectivity corridor, in Atkinson. Other Living Landscape projects included two wetland mitigation projects working in partnership with the NH Department of Environmental Services and municipal partners.
