The proposal involves a family-oriented pump track on a recently harvested tree farm parcel. However, the discussion raised two major red flags: the risk of groundwater pollution due to proximity to the old landfill, and existing easements that restrict 'wheeled recreation.'

Longer-form draft.
During the May 20th Conservation Commission meeting, a new proposal for recreational land use was discussed that warrants community attention. A mountain bike group is proposing the installation of a pump track and a small trail loop on Parcel 101003 (near the old landfill). While the proposal is framed as a family-oriented recreational project, the discussion brought several significant concerns to the forefront. First, there are environmental questions regarding potential groundwater pollution given the site's proximity to the old landfill. Second, the Commission noted that current easements on the land may specifically restrict 'wheeled recreation,' creating a potential legal conflict. As of now, the Commission has not approved the project. They have instead moved to request a formal design proposal from the group, which will then undergo subcommittee review. Residents should keep a close eye on this development to ensure that environmental protections and land-use laws are strictly upheld. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/new-london/conservation-commission/2026-05-20/ #MeetingWatch #NewLondonNH
