About Us
Who are we?
The Powwow Pond is a 285 acre water body in Southern New Hampshire and is part of the Merrimack River Watershed.
The Powwow Pond Council, Inc. was organized in January 2007 as a New Hampshire Not for Profit Corporation which is publicly supported and exempt from tax under Sec 501(c))(3) of the Internal Revenue Service tax code.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to conserve and protect the Powwow Pond and shoreline. We serve to educate residents and visitors about the responsible management of our natural resources.
Our Vision:
Our vision is of a sustainable ecosystem for the habitat of native aquatic and non-aquatic organisms and for recreational purposes with a management plan that can be sustained for future generations.
It is our belief that this goal can be accomplished by means of:
- Removing/controlling exotic plant species
- Preventing the introduction of non-native/exotic species
- Managing and conserving native plant, vertebrate and invertebrate species
- Educating people regarding responsible recreation
- Meet with other pond councils, state and local biologists and other experts to create a watershed association to more effectively use our resources/funding in the conservation efforts
- Educate local residents regarding the importance of creating a management plan for the area resources that will continue for generations
By working closely and cooperatively with our members, the community at-large and state and local government agencies, our vision can be realized.
