Great Bay Stewards Executive Director and State Representative Allison Knab, along with State Representatives Peggy Balboni representing Greenland, Rye and North Hampton and Dennis Malloy representing Greenland and Rye at the Glenn Cove groundbreaking ceremony on July 30, 2024.
The Glenn Cove Project is officially underway in Greenland, NH. Just off of Newington Road on Emery Lane 70 people gathered for a formal introduction of the new Glenn Cove recreation and research area on July 30, 2024. This will include free public access along the shores of Great Bay, renovation of the property’s historic farm and a picnic pavilion for public use. The site will allow access for water quality and saltmarsh research and monitoring, climate change and sea level rise work and fisheries and wildlife management.
The project abuts four NH Fish and Game-owned parcels that protect about 130 acres of land and 4,000 feet of frontage on the eastern shore of Great Bay, as well as the 154-acre Great Bay Farm recently put into conservation by the town of Greenland and Southeast Land Trust
The entire area has been designated for use by the Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, which is working to restore and renovate it to open for public use.
Great Bay Stewards hosted the event on July 30, 2024 at the site.
