Habitat Stewardship Series:
Do you recognize important wildlife habitat when you see it?
UNH Cooperative Extension announces publication of a 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 below or at www.nhwoods.org 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.
