The City of Manchester created the Manchester Conservation Commission (MCC) in 1989 to help maintain a balance between our natural resources and the increasing pressure of development. MCC acts as stewards of Manchester’s natural resources by:
- Advising the NH Department of Environmental Services’ Wetlands Bureau on local permit applications and enforcement issues.
- Conducting field investigations of applications for permits for work in wetlands.
- Assisting Manchester city departments, boards, and committees with environmental planning.
- Helping interested landowners identify the best protection strategies to preserve their land in it’s natural state.
- Coordinating research activities with other organizations such as The Nature Conservancy and the New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau.
- Providing support for other citywide environmental initiatives such as environmental education, streambank stabilization, and land preservation.
The Manchester Conservation Commission is a seven member volunteer advisory board established by local ordinance (Article XIV) in March of 1989. All members are appointed by the Board of Mayor & Alderman and serve three-year terms.
To contact a member of the Commission call 624-6455 or write in care of the City Clerk’s Office, 1 City Hall Plaza, Manchester NH 03101
The Commission meets the first and the third Thursday of each month at 6:00pm at the City Hall Third Floor Conference Room.
