Conservation Commission

The Jaffrey Conservation Commission was established in accordance with Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) 36-A for the proper use and protection of Jaffrey's natural resources and watershed resources. The Commission provides a focal point within the town and Town government for environmental concerns. The Commission may advise the Planning Board and other local bodies on conservation matters. The Commission may act more directly to protect natural resources, by acquiring land, either outright or through easements, with the approval of the Selectmen. The Commission may then manage these conservation areas. The Commission also manages designated Town forests.
