Restoration of the Peregrine falcon in New Hampshire
Management of the state’s recovering Peregrine falcon population is carried out by NH Audubon, working under contract with the NH Fish and Game’s Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program.
Peregrine falcons in New Hampshire are producing more young, continuing their gradual climb toward full recovery. Management actions include tracking recreational use at cliffs, posting temporary closures on rock climbing routes when needed, and providing technical advice to natural resource agencies and to the public.
NH Audubon also recruits, trains and deploys volunteer observers to document Peregrine distribution and productivity, and to band young. These activities are currently supported by private donations.
