Extension Educator, Forest Resources.
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.

We help landowners with woodlot care, long term planning, selling timber, wildlife habitat, land protection, current use taxation, and more. We help communities through support to town boards, public officials, 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 have a forester in each of the ten counties and forestry, wildlife, and industry specialists located at the university.

Do you recognize important wildlife habitat when you see it?

UNH Cooperative Extension has just published a new brochure series to help landowners learn about and help conserve important wildlife habitats found on their land.

The New Hampshire Wildlife Action Plan: Habitat Stewardship Series brochures cover a variety of habitat types critical for wildlife species at risk in New Hampshire. The first four brochures, available now, focus on grasslands, marsh and shrub wetlands, floodplain forests, and vernal pools.

The colorful brochures include practical information for landowners. Pictures and text explain how to identify habitat types, describe the major threats to the health of those habitats, and offer information about wildlife species that depend on each habitat. The brochures also provide specific recommendations for landowners interested in helping protect and conserve the wildlife that depend on each critical habitat type.

The brochures were produced by UNH Cooperative Extension with support from the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and the N.H. Fish & Game Department. Landowners may download brochures or receive a single set free through the UNH Forestry Information Center (call 1-800-444-8978, email forest.info@unh.edu).

When complete later this year, the Habitat Stewardship Series will also include brochures on shrublands, northern hardwood forests, oak-pine forests, hemlock forests, and spruce-fir forests.
