The New Hampshire Coverts Project
What is the NH Coverts Project?
The New Hampshire Coverts Project trains volunteers to promote wildlife habitat conservation and forest stewardship. The goals of the project are twofold:
- To enhance, restore, and conserve habitat for the rich diversity of native wildlife in New Hampshire
- To increase the amount of New Hampshire's public and private land managed with a stewardship ethic
A "covert" (pronounced "cover" with a "t") is a thicket that provides shelter for wild animals. Modeled on similar Coverts Projects in other states, the name of the NH program symbolizes the Project's focus on wildlife habitat.
