The NHACC has been a valuable resource for Conservation Commissions since 1970. Our 192 member commissions make it possible for us to continue support the important work of Conservation Commissions throughout New Hampshire in helping to protect our natural resources.
The GRANIT datamapper, the online GIS mapping program, now has a theme that includes the Wildlife Action Plan's Wildlife Habitat Land Cover, Habitat Condition Rankings, and Conservation Focus Areas. This data is now available to help you protect wildlife in your community. http://mapper.granit.unh.edu/viewer.jsp.
Did You Know ? A typical home has as many as 12 to 15 appliances on standby power that are consuming electricity 24 hours a day, or about 5 percent of the average total electric bill. These are called "phantom loads" or energy vampires. The total phantom load of the United States could power the countries of Greece, Peru, and Vietnam combined. For more information about leaking electricity, visit the U.S. Department of Energy website.
The New Hampshire Association of Conservation Commissions (NHACC) is a private, non-profit association of municipal conservation commissions. Its purpose is to foster conservation and appropriate use of New Hampshire's natural resources by providing assistance to conservation commissions, facilitating communication and cooperation among commissions, and helping to create a climate in which commissions can be successful.
