Help for Landowners
Forest landowners hold the key to protecting New
Hampshire's environment. Three quarters of the landscape is owned by 84,000
people in properties averaging 40 acres. Each county has a
forester
available to answer questions about woodlot care.
The
Forestry Information Center can answer
many of your natural resource related questions. When sending an email please
provide contact information (phone number and post office address) and what
kind of assistance or information you want. The center can also be reached for
callers in any of the New England states at 1-800-444-8978. The postal address
is Rm 211 Nesmith Hall, 131 Main Street, Durham, NH, 03824.
The center
has a large selection of fact sheets available that can be ordered directly
using the publication
list.
Professionals can help you with your land.
