Overview
Mission
Our Mission: To foster conservation and appropriate use of New Hampshire's natural resources by providing assistance to conservation commissions, facilitating communication and cooperation among commissions, and helping to create a climate in which commissions can be successful.
What it reported doing in 2025
Lunch and Learn series workshops: Conservation commissions let us know topics of particular interest to them. NHACC finds presenters, often volunteers, and creates virtual workshops to cover these topics. NHACC members can usually attend for free. Topics include pollinators, wetlands assessment and protection, wildlife habitat, town land management, among many others. These are recorded and available to all commissions. These are popular and well attended with 60-70 participants per workshop. Also, offering field training two or three times a year, such as Trail Design and Maintenance for Conservation Commissioners, in cooperation with AMC, last fall, which was very well received. Funded through membership dues and donations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
