Shoreline Vegetated Buffer Cost-Share Program
Acton Wakefield Watersheds Alliance
The Acton Wakefield Watersheds Alliance pays lakefront homeowners $500 to stop mowing and let natural vegetation grow in a shoreline buffer, or reimburses native planting projects: up to $1,000 for projects costing $1,000 or less, and 50% of cost (up to $1,000 total) for larger projects. Serves the New Hampshire side of the program's lakes: Horn Pond, Lake Ivanhoe/Round Pond, Lovell Lake, and the NH portion of Great East Lake, all in Wakefield, NH. Funded by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation's Great Bay 2030 Initiative (awwatersheds.org Shoreline Vegetated Buffer Cost-Share Program; last verified July 2026).
New Hampshire's first directory entry. Same program and provider as the already-catalogued Maine entry (awwa-shoreline-vegetated-buffer), which serves the program's other two eligible lakes (Wilson Lake and the Maine portion of Great East Lake), both in Acton, ME - kept as a separate row because it's a distinct state/city set. Found during the 2026-07-29 discovery sweep.
