About Us

From the Beginning…

In 1969 Boston & Maine Railroad announced plans to abandon a 2.1 mile section of rail bed running between New Boston and Goffstown, NH. The very real possibility that this large stretch of unspoiled land could be sold to a developer prompted residents of 7 area communities to take action. Together they founded the Piscataquog Watershed Association and succeeded in protecting 82.5 scenic and unspoiled acres.  

Today, as then, PLC is guided by one simple goal: To conserve the natural and scenic resources of Piscataquog Region Communities.
