Welcome to the Town of Danville's
Official Website
- With the 100% Use Change Tax we receive (voted in by you, the townspeople), your Conservation Commission has purchased sizeable parcels of land for conservation and preservation.
- Recently we have purchased a 20-acre parcel abutting our Town Forest.
- We have put in place "Do Not Cut" buffer signs and marked "Open Space" areas in our Town Forest.
- We have had 2 of a 3-part wetland inventory done. These inventories are extremely important in monitoring the health of our wetlands and ensure better preservation of same.
- We have a Conservation Easement in progress for our 476 +/- acres Town Forest through the Audubon Society. This will ensure proper care and maintenance of our forest.
- Conservation is excited to announce that potential Eagle Scout, David Phillips, will be working on an orienteering course in the Town Forest. There will be 3 trails, small, medium and large to orienteer. David envisions a "How To" sign to instruct hikers how to use a compass on these paths. In addition to the "How To" sign David would like to add a picnic table or seating where hikers could plan their course. What a great addition to our Town Forest activities! Thank you, David!
- We will be working with NH Cooperative Extension to do a wildlife inventory of the Town Forest.

What's happened recently?
The Conservation Commission held a logo contest in which all Danville children could participate. The winners have their logos on the signs you see in our town forest.
Our goal is to designate prime wetlands.
Did you know that wetlands provide the most important natural water filtration system in our environment? Please do not alter any wetland area. It harms the environment and IT'S AGAINST THE LAW in New Hampshire.
What's in the future?
Other things you should know...
We are always looking to purchase parcels of land. We do this with money in our budget along with grants available to us.
You may have some land that you would like to see as conservation land. Did you know there's a tax advantage in it for you? Feel free to contact us to learn more.
Let us know what's on your conservation "wish list"!
