The Belknap County Conservation District (BCCD) needs your voice!
The Belknap County Conservation District thanks you for your continuing support. Your support and participation in BCCD has allowed us to offer landowners, municipalities, and businesses grant funding and technical assistance to accomplish their natural resource management goals.
The newly elected Belknap County Delegation, which is made up of Representatives to the New Hampshire Legislature, has many new members. Some of these members, by their own admission, are in a learning curve regarding the funding of county departments and associated agencies. BCCD has the support of the Belknap County Commissioners to be funded at last year’s level of $97,304. BCCD assists in generating between 2 and 3 times that amount per year in services and program dollars to benefit residents in Belknap County. County funds pay for one full time employee, part-time seasonal employees, and project consultants from the private sector. The next step is to help inform the members of the Belknap County Delegation about BCCD and gain their support to continue to fund our ability to assist our county.
Please contact your local Belknap County Delegation member! (contact list in attached pdf)
First Meeting Scheduled for Friday, Jan. 11th at 11 AM
Public Hearing and Final Vote Scheduled for Monday, Jan 21st at 5 PM
Meetings will take place at the Belknap County Complex, 34 County Drive, Laconia

Who
We Are
The Belknap County Conservation District is a
county and grant supported organization that
was formed in 1946 to serve as a grassroots
agency acting as a source of conservation
information on land, water and related
natural resource issues for residents of the
county. We are
authorized by the Belknap County Commissioners
and operate on an annual budget of
$95,000. Our staffing includes a
Program Coordinator, and
two part time project assistants, a
bookkeeper, and CSEP staff assistant; we
rely heavily on the efforts of dedicated
volunteers and donors. The District, in close
coordination with, and technical support from the USDA National Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS), undertakes projects and
adult training programs funded by grants
from various sources, and provides educator
and student programs in natural resources.
We are not a regulatory organization, but
provide services free or at a low cost.
Our Mission
The Belknap County Conservation District
mission is to provide for the wise use,
management and development of the county's
soil, water and related natural resources.
This is accomplished with the cooperation of
public agencies, private groups and
individuals.
The BCCD Board of
Supervisors meets the first Thursday of
every month. Please contact the BCCD
office for the time, location, and
agenda of the meeting you wish to
attend.
