POSTED: 10:39 am EDT September 29, 2009


BRIDGEWATER, N.H. -- A New Hampshire conservation group has bought a 233-acre conservation easement along the Pemigewasset River. The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests purchased the easement on the land in Bridgewater along the west bank of the river. With more than 2,500 feet of undeveloped river frontage, the land is a stocking point for salmon fry, and the segment of river fronting the property provides spawning habitat for trout and salmon. Jon and Hillary Martin sold the conservation easement to the Forest Society. They have been sustainably managing the property as a working woodlot. The conservation easement will allow for continued sustainable forestry activities in accordance with a plan written by a licensed forester.

Spawning habitat for Trout and Salmon? I'm not sure that is the case, but good to hear that it wont be developed.

That is the stretch above or below ayers island dam?

Great to hear either way!

Forestry and salmon spawning grounds? Historicaly, isn't that like allowing Wall Street to police itself? Hopefully, one learns from histories mistakes.

Does anyone know how this played out? Interested to hear some news.
