Londonderry’s conservation master plan aims for 30% conserved land, but current data shows we are at only 15%.

The town’s master plan targets 30% conserved land. However, current data shows we are only at 15%. To reach that 30% target by 2030, the town would need to acquire roughly 4,000 acres in the next four years. That is an immense scale of acquisition.

Adding to the stakes: The Commission is also tracking a grant for the Lithia Trail project. If the ~$29,000 grant is approved in August, the board will move to a vote on the required 20% local cost share. Residents need to watch this closely.

Longer-form draft.
At the June 23rd Conservation Commission meeting, several items were discussed that carry significant long-term implications for Londonderry taxpayers and landowners. First, the Commission addressed the reality of the town’s conservation goals. While the master plan aims for 30% of town land to be conserved, current records show we are only at 15%. To bridge this gap by 2030, the town would effectively need to acquire 4,000 acres of land in just four years. This raises serious questions about the feasibility of the current plan and the level of resources required to meet it. Second, there is an upcoming fiscal decision regarding the Lithia Trail project. The Commission is awaiting a decision on a $28,000–$29,000 grant from the NH Trails Bureau. If the grant is awarded this August, the Commission will be required to vote on the 20% cost share. Residents should be prepared to discuss the impact of this expenditure. Finally, the Commission moved into a non-public session to discuss potential property acquisitions. While these sessions are permitted under RSA 91-A:3 to protect sensitive negotiations, these decisions involve significant public funds and permanent changes to our town's landscape. We will continue to monitor how these acquisitions align with our community's needs. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/londonderry/conservation-commission/2026-06-23/ #MeetingWatch #LondonderryNH
