The Conservation Commission is concerned with the proper utilization and protection of the Town.s natural resources, both land and water. The Commission administers a conservation fund which it uses to acquire conservation easements from willing landowners to protect parcels with exceptional natural qualities. The Commission advises other Town boards on resource management issues. It also undertakes studies from time to time, and conducts public information activities.
The Conservation Committee meets on the first Wednesday of every month at the Warner Town Hall, Lower Meeting Room. See notices posted at Town Hall for exact times and location. Click here for Conservation Commission Meeting minutes.

Trout Unlimited - Basil Woods Chapter Recognizes the Warner River Local Advisory Committee
At the annual dinner of the Basil Woods Chapter of Trout Limited on Saturday, March 28, 2026, the
Warner River Local Advisory Committee (WRLAC) was recognized by the Trout Unlimited (TU) Chapter
with the Silver Trout Award for its "distinguished service to conservation." The WRLAC was honored
to earn this award from one of its most dedicated and longtime partners. In fact, the Basil Woods
Chapter of TU was instrumental in helping to establish the WRLAC by working on the nomination of
the Warner River to the NH River Management and Protection Program. TU provided testimony to the
NH legislature, and joined the Committee. The WRLAC has been grateful for the Chapter's support
since then. This has included partnering at a booth for the Warner Fall Foliage Festival, keeping
the Committee informed about TU's work with related organizations and agencies, and inviting the
WRLAC to participate in activities such as tree planting and stream monitoring in the Warner River
Watershed. The WRLAC looks forward to continuing and strengthening this partnership in the service
of the Warner River and our riverfront communities.
