Conservation Commission

The City of Haverhill established its Conservation Commission in 1965 for the promotion and development of its natural resources and for the protection of its watershed resources. Since that time the Commission's role in environmental protection has continuously evolved. The Haverhill Conservation Commission is a seven-member commission of volunteer residents appointed by the Mayor. The Commission generally meets every three (3) weeks, on Thursday evenings, at 7:00 PM in City Hall Room 301, unless otherwise posted. The following Haverhill residents currently serve on the Commission:

The City of Haverhill updated its Conservation Commission ordinance in 2024 to allow for the appointment of up to three Conservation Partners.  These appointees are not voting members of the Commission.  Rather, Conservation Partners volunteer their time to assist the Commission with maintaining the City's Open Space and Recreation Plan and working with volunteers in the community to bring that Plan to life.
