Get Involved
Become a Trail Steward
Volunteer to walk at one of our conservation properties regularly to keep an eye on the condition of the trails and notify the commission of anything that might need attention (such as fallen trees, trail flooding, etc.).
Join a guided walk at a conservation property
These walks are hosted by one of our commissioners approximately once a month at different properties. Learn about the history of the property and the natural resources that exist on site.
Volunteer at a work day
Join us to help with activities such as removing invasive plants, cleaning up trash, trail maintenance, planting native vegetation and more!
Plan a Community Service Project
The Conservation Commission is happy to work with community groups to plan projects at our conservation properties. Examples of recent or potential projects include the installation of trailside benches at scenic locations, trailhead kiosks, and bluebird boxes.
Upcoming events
Monthly trail walk. See more events on Facebook.
Learn about the Turtle Species living in Nashua- Thursday, September 18th 2PM-3PM
We’ll join Rivier University professor Shanna Demers and her students as they conduct turtle population research at Fields Grove park in Nashua. This is part of an ongoing effort to document turtle species in Salmon Brook.
Professor Demers and her team will collect turtles from live traps and record species, sex, size, and whether the turtle is a recapture (previously marked) or new capture. This information is reported to the state and helps assess turtle population health. To read more about the project, here’s an article from 2022.
Where to meet: Fields Grove Park, at the end of Field Street in Nashua. Check our Facebook page for any weather updates.
Date/Time: Thursday, September 18th 2PM-3PM
Please note: Live traps are checked frequently and turtles are not harmed.
