The Forestry & Wildlife Program
The University of NH
Cooperative Extension Forestry and Wildlife Program has been caring for New
Hampshire's forests since 1925. Our mission is to educate New Hampshire's
citizens about rural and urban forest environments, enhancing their ability to
make informed natural resources decisions.
The University of New
Hampshire Cooperative Extension has a
professional
forester in each of the ten counties and forestry, wildlife, and industry
specialists and program coordinators located at the university.
We
help landowners with woodlot care, long term planning, selling timber, wildlife
habitat, estate planning and land protection, current use taxation, and more.
We help communities through support to town boards, public officials, schools,
civic groups, and other community organizations. We help provide a healthy
working landscape by offering the state's 84,000 landowners, 1400 loggers, 250
licensed foresters, and 100 sawmills information and technical assistance. We
cosponsor the NH Coverts and Community Tree Stewards volunteer programs and the
NH Tree Farm Program, the NH Timber Harvesting Council, and the Professional
Loggers Program.
