Wild History Presentation Materials (Information for Speaking for Wildlife Presenters)
Title of Presentation: New Hampshire's Wild History: 350 Years of New Hampshire Wildlife
Summary: The Wild History slide presentation takes participants on a virtual journey through New Hampshire’s past, focusing on changes in the land and how wildlife populations have responded over time. You’ll learn why changes in habitat in our past are behind the decline of many of our rarest species today, and why others are more abundant than in the past. You’ll also learn what you can do to help. Presentation includes handouts and other helpful materials.
Program length: 1 hour, including time for discussion
