New Hampshire Boat Museum
Offers Workshop on Shoreland Environmental Law
May 26, 2009 - Wolfeboro, NH
Learn about the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act at The New Hampshire Boat Museum in Wolfeboro on Thursday, June 11. The workshop will be presented by Jason Aube of the NH Department of Environmental Services and held at the Museum in Wolfeboro beginning at 7pm.
“This program will be of interest to many people, including boaters, shorefront homeowners, builders and marine contractors,” indicated Hank Why, NHBM Chair.

Significant amendments to this act by the New Hampshire Legislature became effective last year. This presentation will provide an overview of these changes and will include an opportunity for questions from guests. Areas of discussion will include waterfront buffers, impervious surface limitations and activities that do not require a shoreland permit.

Come early or stay late to view the new exhibits in the Museum or enjoy some refreshments.

Other upcoming lectures include: “Ice Yachting in the Lakes Region” on July 16, “Archeology Under New Hampshire Waters” on August 6, and “The Lady of the Lake” on August 27.

In addition, NHBM offers a variety of hands-on activities such as its Summer Boat Building, Community Sailing, Powerboat Safety and Model Sailboat Racing Programs. Other upcoming events include the New England Vintage Boat Auction on July 18, Family Day on August 1, 33rd Annual Alton Bay Boat Show on August 8, 3rd Annual Boathouse Tour on August 13 and the 6th Wolfeboro Race Boat Regatta on September 18-19.
