Answer:
One area you can check is the Hampton Conservation Commission, since they have a greater handle on protecting the area's wetlands - finding out what a wetland is, and how & why they're protected; the salt marsh & other matters regarding conservation of lands; etc.
Another place is the Hampton Mosquito Commission, which has information on how they find a balance between dealing with disease spreading mosquitos and not doing more harm with whatever chemicals they may use to spray breeding areas.
You can find contacts for these commissions on the town website:
www.hamptonnh.gov
You will find boards, commissions and committees in the top navigation bar.
The Lane Memorial Library is also an excellent resource, once you've found a specific topic to research.
For information on what the state legislature is doing, you can go to:
www.nh.gov
This website is very comprehensive, and can tell you who our reps are for both the Senate and the House, current legislation, and departments within the state government that are working on environmental issues. Specifically check out DES - Department of Environmental Services, and OEP - Office of Energy & Planning.
