Environmental Partnerships & Projects
Cleaning up Manufactured Gas Plants From the late 1800's to the mid 1900's, gas was manufactured at sites across the country through a process of burning coal. The resulting fuel was used to energize lights in homes and streets. In 1993, remnant wastes from a gas plant in Laconia were discovered by divers in the Winnipesaukee River. As a former owner of the site, PSNH worked with the State to develop a plan to removed the 'coal tar' and ensure that the property and the nearby river were safe.

Audubon Society of New Hampshire PSNH's relationship with the Audubon Society of New Hampshire began in 1994 when PSNH, the Audubon Society and business, state and environmental groups worked together to reduce emissions at Merrimack Station in Bow. Since then, PSNH has worked with the Audubon Society of New Hampshire on several projects, starting with the Amoskeag Fishways Partnership in 1995. As many as 30,000 children and adults each year attend classes, lectures and seminars to learn about everything from a 54-step fish ladder that allows anadromous fish to travel up the Merrimack, to how electricity is made at the Amoskeag hydro station.

Project Osprey, a strategic recovery program, designed to increase the number of osprey in New Hampshire, got its start in 1998 when a concerned resident noticed a pair of ospreys building a four-foot diameter nest atop a PSNH utility pole on Lake Winnisquam. PSNH and the Audubon Society of New Hampshire joined forces with the New Hampshire Fish & Game Department to protect the birds, whose six-foot wingspans can become entangled in power lines. This year, The Project will identify and rank potential nesting sites. The 15 most promising sites will get new artificial nesting structures.
Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests Since 1994, PSNH has helped the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests preserve and maintain forest lands throughout the state. Today the society owns 120 forest reservations and three main activity centers around the state: Conservation Center, Concord; The John Hay Land Studies Center, Newbury and The Rocks Christmas Tree Farm, Bethlehem. Over the years, PSNH has helped fund everything from fall foliage tours on the Heritage Trail, to the purchase of land reservations. In 1997, PSNH made a large contribution to the Society to help purchase and restore Monson Village in Milford, New Hampshire's first inland settlement founded in 1737. In 2001, PSNH strengthened its ties to the society by helping to fund the celebration of their centennial.
