About the Annual Coverts Training Workshop
The Coverts Training Workshop
Each fall, 25
enthusiastic landowners and other conservation-minded folks, along with a team
of natural resource professionals gather at a rustic camp in southern New
Hampshire. For 3 ½ days participants learn about the latest concepts and
issues in wildlife and forest ecology, habitat management, land conservation,
community conservation planning, and effective outreach. Volunteers receive a
wide variety of natural resource reference materials for their own use and to
share with others. By the end of the weekend, a new group of Coverts volunteers
emerge, trained and ready to share their new knowledge in their community.
Coverts Volunteers
"Coverts Cooperators" are landowners, teachers, business people, writers, local
decision-makers—people willing to share their experiences and motivate
others. In exchange for the fall training (meals, lodging, and resource
materials are paid by program sponsors), participants agree to return to their
communities and motivate others to become stewards of the state's wildlife and
forest resource. Volunteers become part of the Coverts network connected
through newsletters, field tours, reunions, and workshops.
