Big Pea Porridge Watershed Preservation Association

 

Preserving and protecting the pond and its watershed.

Big Pea Porridge Watershed Preservation Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit association that is dedicated to preserving, protecting, and improving the high quality of Pea Porridge Pond and its watershed.

Big Pea Porridge Pond Preservation Association was created to monitor the seasonal condition of the natural and constructed environments within the Big Pea Porridge Pond geographic watershed in the Towns of Madison and Conway, New Hampshire. The association encourages and helps implement actions needed to enhance, protect, and preserve the volume and quality of its surface water inflows. We support the recovery and preservation of its surface and littoral shore lands, wetlands, and adjacent fluvial systems, and the restoration and maintenance of a viable balance among the various species of wildlife within and near the watershed.
