Strafford County Conservation District

Strafford County Conservation District SCCD promotes voluntary conservation practices and best land management throughout the County and surrounding watersheds

Conservation 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 430:B. The District is managed by a board of 5 volunteer supervisors appointed b

y the State Conservation Committee with monthly meetings open to the public. The Board meets every 2nd Wednesday of the Month at 9:00am at the SCCD office.
