The MPPA is a volunteer-based, non-profit organization of over 100 members whose purpose is to oversee the well-being of Messer Pond and the surrounding watershed in New London, New Hampshire.  Our goals are to maintain the health and beauty of Messer Pond for the benefit of all human and wildlife residents. 

The MPPA was founded in 1996 to perform the following services:

~  Test and monitor the water quality.

~  Educate residents about pond ecology and threats to water quality.

~  Promote public safety and safeguard the pond’s wildlife and environment.

This website is designed to provide educational information and a source of historical data.
