Design Your Own Field Walk - Information for Presenters
Title of Presentation: Design Your Own Field Walk
Summary: Does your community have a special piece of land that is under-appreciated? Sponsoring a nature walk is a great way to help raise awareness about unique places in your community. Through the Speaking for Wildlife program, experienced NH Coverts Project volunteers can lead field walks highlighting the wildlife habitats that make each property unique. Field walks last 1-2 hours and include planning assistance from a UNH Cooperative Extension County Forester.
