There are many ways to get involved with the Conservation District. Interested? We would love to hear from you!
Volunteer
Volunteers pitch in with many projects and events like the plant sale, wildlife plantings, and agricultural demonstrations. They help with outreach and education on behalf of the District. For example, demonstrate the use of equipment and chat with people interested in conservation at events. They can also assist with operational and outreach tasks like posting on social media, helping with mailings, and much more.
No special skills, strengths, or knowledge are needed to be a valuable asset to our team, only a desire to help. Everyone has something to give.
2. Attend Workshops & Events
Sign up for our mailing list to find out about upcoming workshops and events on topics like innovative agricultural practices, wildlife habitat, soil health, and more.
3. Provide input to our Local Workgroup
One of the District's jobs is to collect public input on conservation needs, priorities and goals in the County. Attend a Local Workgroup Meeting or take our survey to make your voice heard. Your opinion matters!
4. Become a Supervisor
Supervisors and Associate Supervisors guide Conservation District programs and activities, including equipment rentals, projects, events, technical services, grant applications, and more. They provide financial and policy direction to the District, develop new projects and services, supervise staff and volunteers, engage in the local conservation community, and provide input on funding priorities.
Supervisors make their best effort to attend board meetings, held on the second Wednesday of each month at 9am. They assist with District activities between meetings, which could include equipment tasks, helping with workshops or project implementation, developing educational materials, attending other conservation meetings, and/or other activities that match your interests.
Associate Supervisors are appointed for a one-year term by the Board of Supervisors in a vote at the Annual Meeting each year. There is no term limit. Applications are submitted in person at the Annual Meeting or in writing before the Annual Meeting. There are five Full Supervisors on the Board, and they are nominated for three-year terms. The NH State Conservation Committee approves nominations, and also oversees the Supervisors. The Supervisor’s Handbook contains detailed policies and information and is available upon request.
