Workshop Description:Would you like to learn how you can use NH's Wildlife Action Plan in your local planning efforts? The Wildlife Action Plan identifies species at risk, assesses threats to their continued existence, and offers strategies to address these needs statewide. Come to this workshop if you want to learn how to interpret the plan, maps, and data and then help turn it into action. Fish and Game's Lindsay Webb will present the Wildlife Action Plan highlighting how other individuals and communities have used the plan to implement conservation strategies that are aimed at preventing the state's wildlife from becoming endangered. There will be an opportunity to look at the maps at a town level as we discuss planning for conservation and tools to implement your town's plan. Conservation Commissioners, Planning Board members, and anyone interested in wildlife habitat protection are encouraged to attend.
