Mascoma River Needs Your Help

In 2011, The State of New Hampshire designated the Mascoma River as a protected river under the New Hampshire Rivers Management and Protection Program (RMPP).

The Mascoma River was designated because of the broad range of natural and cultural resources it provides along its length from Canaan Center to West Lebanon.

Designated rivers have Local Advisory Committees (LACs) to give local communities a voice in the protection and management of the river that flows through their city and towns. These LACs play a key role in the RMPP. 

This committee ideally comprises three individuals from each of the three municipalities along the designated section of the river: Canaan, Enfield, and Lebanon. The Mascoma LAC is currently seeking volunteers to fills these positions.

You can learn more about the Mascoma LAC on their website.

Interested? If you live in one of these communities and are willing to volunteer, or have any questions, please get in touch with Sydney Gendreau, NH DES Watershed Planning Assistant, at (603) 271-1522 or Sydney.E.Gendreau@des.nh.gov.
