Mission Statement
Conserving the natural and scenic environment of Southern New Hampshire since 1970.
About This Cause
WHO WE ARE Founded in 1970, the Piscataquog Land Conservancy (PLC) is a private, nationally accredited land trust dedicated to conserving the land, water and wildlife of twenty-six communities in southern New Hampshire. Comprising just 8.4% of the state’s land area, the towns and cities we serve are home to 30% of New Hampshire’s people. As of July 1, 2025 PLC held interests in 142 properties totaling 10,292 acres of land. Of this total, PLC owns and manages 31 preserves totaling 2,644 acres. We have a professional staff of four, and more than ninety local volunteer property monitors. PLC’s modest annual operating budget is funded almost entirely by the private contributions of individuals, families and businesses in our watershed communities. WHERE WE WORK The Piscataquog Land Conservancy serves the following communities: Amherst, Bedford, Brookline, Deering, Dunbarton, Francestown, Goffstown, Greenfield, Greenville, Henniker, Hollis, Hudson, Lyndeborough, Litchfield, Manchester, Mason, Merrimack, Milford, Mont Vernon, Nashua, New Boston, New Ipswich, Pelham, Temple, Weare, and Wilton. WHAT WE DO We Conserve Land Protecting our region’s most critical natural lands is the heart of PLC’s work. Year in and year out, PLC protects the places that provide clean water and wildlife habitat, local food and forest products, and close-to-home opportunities to get outdoors. We Care for Land. We monitor our properties, build and maintain trails, mark boundaries, and install informational kiosks and property signs. We are also ready to legally defend our land and easements if they are threatened with encroachment or misuse. We Create Community. All of PLC’s lands and many of our conservation easements are open to the public to enjoy. Thanks to many volunteers generously giving their time and talents, PLC recreational and educational outings get hundreds of people outside throughout the year.
