NLRA welcomes Paul Pellissier to the role of conservation program manager

BRISTOL — The Newfound Lake Region Association welcomes local watershed resident Paul Pellissier to the role of conservation program manager. As NLRA's conservation program manager, Paul will lead and grow NLRA’s efforts in water quality monitoring, invasive species management, and stormwater management, as well as oversee the continued restoration and stewardship of Grey Rocks Conservation Area. NLRA Executive Director Rebecca Hanson says, “NLRA is growing to meet the conservation needs of Newfound, and adding a conservation program manager to our team is an exciting step forward. This position straddles science, education, and program management, and Paul has shown himself to be uniquely qualified to take on these responsibilities.”

Originally from Pennsylvania, Pellissier attended the University of New Hampshire, earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees in environmental science and natural resources, and knew he would one day call New Hampshire home. He and his wife spent five years in Wyoming, where he taught courses in environmental problem solving and collaborative decision-making at the University of Wyoming, before moving to Bridgewater in 2018.
