Town of Epping Conservation Commission directory

The Town of Epping Conservation Commission is the steward of the Town of Epping's conservation lands in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, working to protect natural resources while providing opportunities for low-impact outdoor recreation and environmental education. The Commission reviews land use proposals affecting wetlands and natural resources, manages town-owned conservation properties, coordinates trail development and maintenance, and encourages community stewardship through volunteer programs and partnerships with regional conservation organizations.

The Commission manages and maintains a growing network of conservation lands and trails that showcase Epping's forests, wetlands, floodplains and river corridors. These include the Lamprey River Floodplain Conservation Area, along with other public conservation properties such as Folsom Conservation Area and Fox Run Conservation Area, offering opportunities for hiking, trail running, nature observation, snowshoeing and, where appropriate, mountain biking and other non-motorized recreation. Trail stewardship focuses on sustainable access while protecting sensitive habitats and the ecological integrity of the Lamprey River watershed.
