Districts around the United States were organized over half a century ago in response to devastating soil erosion.
The State of New Hampshire enacted legislation in 1946 to establish 10 Districts, one in each county. Strafford County Conservation District is a subdivision of the State Government under RSA 432:12.
The District is managed by a board of 5 volunteer supervisors appointed by the State Conservation Committee with monthly meetings open to the public. Read here about upcoming meetings, and please consider joining us!
Supervisors are county landowners from diverse backgrounds with the wise management of the county’s natural resources.
The Board of Supervisors meets the second Wednesday in February, April, June, August, October, and December at 9:00 A.M.
Board of Supervisors:
Mark Perry, Chairman, Rochester
Dorn Cox, Vice Chairman, Lee
Robin Aikman, Supervisor, Rollinsford
Don Whittum Supervisor,Treasurer/Secretary, Farmington
Bill Hunt, Supervisor, Dover
