State Conservation Committee

Since 1946, the State Conservation Committee, a State of New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets and Food affiliate, has provided conservation leadership, guidance, and coordination to the Conservation Districts and distributes Conservation License Plate (Moose Plate) funds to support conservation activities that protect agricultural and natural resources.

The State Conservation Committee (SCC) confirms Conservation District Supervisors, offers assistance, advice, and consultation to conservation districts to formulate and implement programs, and fosters coordination with other natural resource state and federal agencies, organizations, and the legislature. The SCC receives a portion of the Conservation License Plate (Moose Plate) funds and administers the SCC Conservation Grant Program.
