The Nashua Land and Waters Regional Conservation Partnership (RCP) is comprised of a group of regional land protection specialists from conservation organizations, land trusts, state agencies, and environmental non-profits that share a mutual priority – to conserve and connect land across the Nashua River watershed. The RCP is coordinated by North County Land Trust and Nashua River Watershed Association, who provide administrative support and local connections to conservation leaders in the focus communities. Capacity and expertise is provided by Mass Audubon and The Trustees of Reservations. State Agency professionals from Massachusetts Department of Conservation & Recreation and Massachusetts Department of Fish & Game also provide input on projects that align with their agencies’ missions. Monthly meetings are convened at the Trustees’ Doyle Community Center in Leominster, MA, to discuss overlapping priorities, share institutional knowledge, and identify conservation opportunities. This collaborative model allows partners to strategically identify and pursue high priority projects across the 32 communities located within the Nashua River watershed, and intersects new and existing funding sources to help accomplish mutual land protection goals. By pooling resources, expertise, and conservation networks, this approach is designed to ultimately build stronger connections between regional organizations, local conservation partners, and community leaders across the watershed.
