The Forestry and Wildlife Program will continue to work closely with its local Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) partners in New Hampshire to deliver private landowner programs throughout the state. We have developed two new contribution agreements totaling $161,000 from each partner. We will use these funds to address landowner objectives to help them meet their forest and wildlife management needs.

Other aspects of the agreements cover forest management plan preparation, habitat improvement for New England cottontail rabbits (a state-endangered species), and outreach to landowners on these and similar topics.
