Camera Trappings in Coos County
The Nature Conservancy, with funding assistance from the NH State Conservation Committee Mooseplate Grant, has completed a year-long camera trapping study in which nearly 3,000 individual animals were detected and cataloged by 25 motion-sensitive camera in wildlife movement areas along Route 3 in Coos County. The results will help select the best possible opportunities to protect the last remaining undeveloped road-front areas that wildlife rely upon to approach and cross roads, and to improve crossing hot-spots to minimize animal-vehicle collisions and enhance landscape connections benefiting both people and wildlife.
