Wetlands Assessment, Inventory, and Prime Wetlands Designation Project in the Taylor River Watershed: A Final Report to The New Hampshire Estuaries Project.

Publication Date 2004

Abstract The purpose of this project was to provide significant educational efforts on wetlands functions and values, prime wetlands designation, on-the-ground inventory findings, wildlife habitat, and New Hampshire's Prime Wetlands laws and rules for the two communities located within the project focus area. The focus area for this project was the Taylor River Watershed, which comprises the Taylor River as it flows through both Hampton and Hampton Falls, a bit of Ash Brook and Old River as it flows through Hampton, and Grapevine Run as it flows through Hampton Falls. This project assessed over 152 wetland areas containing approximately 620 acres. This project included a comprehensive wetland resource assessment of an area that was originally roughly defined as shown on Map 1 (Appendix A). A NH Certified Wetland Scientist was hired by the Town of Hampton to complete an inventory of wetlands along the Taylor River corridor, and to identify individual wetland areas as well as wetland complexes that were potentially suitable for prime wetlands designation. Once that assessment was completed, four distinct areas were chosen as potential candidates for prime wetlands designation, and a functions and values assessment was conducted on each candidate.
