UNH Cooperative Extension, in cooperation with the NH Fish and Game Department, NH Division of Forests and Lands, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, is looking for landowners and other individuals committed to wildlife conservation and forest stewardship. If you have time in your schedule for a training workshop, and approximately 40 hours of volunteer outreach during the coming year (it may be volunteer work you are already doing), then we invite you to complete an application by as soon as possible.
Deadline is June 22, 2012.
- Coverts Project Application, 2012 (Microsoft Word format)- save and complete form on your computer, then email or mail to the Project Office (addresses located on form).
- OR Request a hard copy of the application (email Coordinator Malin Clyde)
Twenty-five individuals will be chosen from the list of applicants to attend the fall workshop scheduled for October 3-6, 2012. The workshop will be held at the rustic, beautiful Barbara C. Harris Conference Center in Greenfield, New Hampshire. Accepted applicants pay a $50 registration fee to secure their spot in the workshop, with all other costs--including food, lodging, and materials--funded by program sponsors. The workshop offers you an opportunity to get to know and to work with natural resource professionals from around the state. It will be fun, educational, and you'll become part of a volunteer network that will keep in touch through newsletters, field tours and future workshops.
This is our sixteenth year of the program—over 400 people from throughout New Hampshire have completed the workshop and become Coverts volunteers. These volunteers have returned to their communities and hosted tours on their property, conserved land, presented wildlife programs in schools, joined conservation commissions, written articles for newspapers and magazines, staffed exhibits, initiated natural resource inventories, worked on community conservation projects, and much more. For more information about the workshop agenda (based on past trainings) and other materials, visit our website at: NHCoverts.org
Thank you for your interest in the NH Coverts Project! If you have any questions about program, please contact Malin Clyde (click to email, or call 603-862-2166) or connect with the Extension educator in Forest Resources in your county Extension office. We look forward to hearing from you! Applicants will be notified by late July.
