Since 1997, the Green Mountain Conservation Group, a non-profit charitable organization, has dedicated its efforts to natural resource conservation in the Ossipee Watershed. Through education, research, and advocacy, and land conservation, they strive to create an awareness and appreciation of our watershed's natural resources and encourage a commitment to protect them. Their guiding principle is to present objective information in a non-confrontational format enabling the public to make informed natural resource decisions.
The Green Moutain Conservation Group has a water quality monitoring program that was began in 2001. The Saco/Ossipee Watershed Water Quality Monitoring Program, created by Green Mountain Conservation Group (GMCG) in New Hampshire and Saco River Corridor Commission (SRCC) in Maine, is designed to be one water quality monitoring program that encompasses one watershed, two states, and twenty six towns. Nature does not recognize political boundaries, why should we? The main goal of the program is to provide long term water quality data to study the health of the entire watershed, track changes overtime as development increases, and educate the public.
The GMCG is in the process of trying for a grant. You can help them by voting at brickfish.com.
With this money, GMCG will be able to offer more programs at their campus on Huntress Bridge Road in Effingham.
