Welcome to the NCC website.

In Vermont, conservation commissions are advisory bodies that exist in many towns across the state. Broadly, they are established to help communities protect and enhance their natural resources.  The projects that a town conservation commission can become involved in will vary depending on the needs of the community.

Newbury’s Conservation Commission has been active for many years.  Members are appointed by the Select Board for three year terms.

  


WE NEED FOUR NEW MEMBERS! HOW ABOUT YOU?

Come to a meeting learn about our projects. Bring your ideas to the table.       NCC meets the second Tuesday of the month at the Baldwin Library in Wells River at 7:00pm. All Newbury residents are invited to attend, share, and learn.


Volunteers Wanted!  NCC wants to add to our volunteer list.  If you would like to help out with events, trail work, fund-raising projects, tree planting, etc., let us know who you are!   If you are looking for projects for your church group, 4-H,  service group, or school related community service, NCC can help you with project ideas that will benefit both your group and our community.
