WRLAC Mission 

The Warner River Local Advisory Committee (WRLAC) was established in 2018 by the New Hampshire Rivers Management and Protection Program (RSA 483:8-a).

 

As a non-regulatory body, the WRLAC's mission is to advise the state, the communities within the protected river corridor and watershed, and individual residents about thoughtful stewardship of the river’s outstanding characteristics -- recreational, fisheries, wildlife, cultural, and ecological -- and to support the protection and maintenance of the riparian lands within the Warner River Protected Corridor. The Warner River Corridor includes the five towns of Bradford, Sutton, Warner, Webster, and Hopkinton. 

 

When reviewing relevant permits within the river corridor, the WRLAC considers the river's riparian and aquatic habitats and its high water quality and available quantity, balanced with responsible community use of the river, riparian lands, and the land within the Warner River Corridor. The Committee strives to provide useful and practical advice on permits and other activities in the Corridor.

 

A Corridor Management Plan, completed in 2021, serves as a guide for the Committee's goals.

​

The WRLAC meets at 7:00 PM on (usually) the fourth Wednesday every other month in the downstairs meeting room of the Pillsbury Free Library, 18 East Main St., Warner, NH. Meeting dates for 2025 are January 29, March 26, May 28, July 23, September 24, and November 19. Members of the public are welcome to attend.
