Through a grant from NH Department of Environmental
Services, we are administering the Hodgson Brook Restoration
Project.
Hodgson Brook is located in Portsmouth, NH. The
watershed of Hodgson Brook is primarily situated in Portsmouth;
however a small area of its northernmost extent is within the
Town of Newington. The Hodgson Brook drainage system is made up
of over 7 miles of waterways.
In 2001, the Advocates for the North Mill Pond (ANMP), a local
citizen group, was awarded a grant from the NH Department of
Environmental Services to study Hodgson Brook and develop a
restoration plan. The ANMP put together a Local Advisory
Committee to help develop and implement the restoration plan.
Through our grant, we employ a part-time Watershed Coordinator
who implements
priority activities outlined in the plan which was published in
2004.
