How do I know if I have wetlands on my property?

Wetlands in NH are defined by the wetlands vegetation, wetland soils and hydrology. (The scientific study of the properties, distribution, and effects of water on the earth's surface, in the soil and underlying rocks). 

Wetlands may only have water in them in the spring or during times of high water, so the identification of plants, soils and hydrology provide the evidence needed to identify wetlands. If you are uncertain whether you have wetlands on your property, contact the WCC and we can help you to make this determination.
