NHEE Organizational Member Announces New Name: Newfound Conservation Alliance

Newfound Lake Region Association

 

Congratulations to NHEE Organizational Member Newfound Lake Region Association on an exciting new chapter! After more than 50 years of protecting the Newfound Lake Watershed, the organization has announced its new name: Newfound Conservation Alliance (NCA).

The new name reflects the organization’s growing work and collaborative approach to protecting the lands and waters of the Newfound Lake Watershed. While the name is changing, its mission remains the same: to protect and improve the health of the watershed for generations to come.

“Our work has grown, our partnerships have grown, and our understanding of the watershed has grown,” shared Rebecca Hanson, Executive Director of Newfound Conservation Alliance. “Newfound Conservation Alliance better reflects the work we do today and the collaborative approach we will take into the future.”

Through science, conservation, education, and community engagement, NCA brings together residents, volunteers, schools, businesses, and conservation partners to support a healthy and resilient watershed. Its work includes water quality monitoring, land conservation, stormwater management, student engagement, and community stewardship.

Along with its new name, the organization is introducing an updated visual identity and the tagline “From Source to Shore,” reflecting the interconnectedness of the watershed and the shared responsibility of caring for it.

NCA will continue its programs and community engagement efforts at the Grey Rocks Conservation Center in Hebron and throughout the Newfound Watershed.

NHEE is proud to have Newfound Conservation Alliance as an Organizational Member and looks forward to seeing its continued impact through conservation, education, and community partnerships!
