Canada lynx

The Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program Reevaluates Endangered Species

Our friends at the NH Fish and Game’s Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program frequently conduct analysis to determine the highest-priority conservation objectives, compiling data as part of a revised New Hampshire State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP). This project began with reevaluating animals listed as species of greatest conservation need (SGCN), including threatened and endangered wildlife such as the Canada lynx.

The historic Carriage House Annex

LCHIP Preserves A Historic 19th Century Example of Queen Anne Architecture in Littleton

The historic Carriage House Annex to the Littleton Community Center is one of many recipients of historic preservation efforts spearheaded by the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program. This three-story wood-frame house stands as an example of high-style Queen Anne architecture, with interiors featuring Victorian glazed tiles and ornate wooden detailing.

Identifying Old Forests as Crucial Sources of Biodiversity & Cultural Values

This winter, the National Heritage Bureau frequented Mt. Sunapee to find old forests—which comprise less than 0.001% of our state’s forests. These forests are important to protect due to their high rates of carbon storage compared to younger forests, as well as for their biodiversity and cultural values. Through historic research, field visits, and desktop reconnaissance—and tree coring, an important method for understanding forest age—the team determined key areas on the landscape where old forests may occur.
