Mission
The mission of the Five Rivers Conservation Trust is to preserve and protect important open space lands in fourteen towns¹ within five New Hampshire river watersheds for present and future generations.
Goals
The goals of the Five Rivers Conservation Trust are to:
Protect the undeveloped lands along the rivers and waterbodies within our region, as well as other parcels of land with significant natural resource attributes.
Work locally, protecting productive farm and forest lands, wetlands, scenic areas, special natural communities, wildlife habitat, cultural features, rivers and streams, lakes and ponds.
Provide recreational opportunities, maintaining clean water supplies, limiting sprawl, and preserving biodiversity.
Contribute to the preservation of the ecological integrity and quality of life that make the Five Rivers Conservation Trust region an attractive place to live and work.
Establish a permanent network of greenways throughout the region linking together conservation and natural resource areas.
Act as a resource to other towns within the five watersheds that are not currently being served by existing land trusts.
Facilitate the protection of natural areas that cross municipal boundaries.
