Longer-form draft.

What is happening with Hollis's natural resources? During the June 17 Conservation Commission meeting, several issues were raised that impact our local environment and taxpayer funds.

First, the Commission voted unanimously to spend $44,000 for an agricultural conservation easement on a 9.6-acre property at 9 Proctor Hill Road. This move is intended to protect the Depaulis property orchard from future subdivision and protect local groundwater.

However, not all news was about preservation. Concerns were raised regarding potential unauthorized water withdrawal by commercial landscapers at Rocky Pond Road. The Commission is looking into the legality of these activities and whether they violate the public trust doctrine. Additionally, there is ongoing frustration regarding environmental enforcement; the town is still pushing the state (NHDES) for an inspection of potential wetland violations at the corner of Hayden and Federal Hill Road that were first reported in April.

We will continue to monitor how the town handles these environmental challenges and the management of conservation funds. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/hollis/conservation-commission/2026-06-17/ #MeetingWatch #HollisNH
