New Hampshire's Wildlife Action Plan Fish and Game worked with partners in the conservation community to create the state's first Wildlife Action Plan. The plan, mandated and funded by the federal government through the State Wildlife Grants program, will guide efforts to restore and maintain species of concern and critical habitats -- keeping species off of rare species lists and saving millions of dollars in the process.

Small Grants Program for Wildlife Habitat Restoration and Enhancement
The N.H. Fish and Game Department has a Small Grants Program to help landowners with a minimum of 25 acres restore or enhance habitat for wildlife. Funding of up to $2,000 per year (no more than $6,000 over a ten-year period) is available for the creation and/or maintenance of wildlife habitat within the property. Examples of projects that may qualify for funding include: brush clearing or mowing to maintain grasslands and shrub-lands; release of old apple trees; and maintenance of woodland openings. In exchange for the grant, landowners agree that their land will remain open for non-motorized public access activities, including hunting. For more information, contact the Wildlife Division at (603) 271-2461, or e-mail wildlife@wildlife.nh.gov.
