Presented by Haley Andreozzi, Wildlife Conservation State Specialist, UNH Cooperative Extension & Sandra Houghton, Wildlife Diversity Biologist, NH Fish & Game: Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program on February 19, 2025.
Wildlife move across the landscape and require connected areas of intact habitat in order to
find food and shelter, reproduce, migrate, and disperse. Habitat
linkages that allow for the movement of wildlife from one area to
another are called wildlife corridors, and can be an area of forest, in and along rivers and streams, along ridgelines, or even along a hedgerow. Wildlife frequently encounter
barriers, such as roads and other infrastructure, as they move. Helping
wildlife to move safely is critical to individuals and populations.
This workshop will discuss the importance of wildlife corridors, and how
communities can work to help conserve or restore connected habitats. We
will introduce tools and resources available to communities in
protecting and enhancing wildlife corridors, best practices, and
examples of New Hampshire-based projects that have promoted safe
wildlife movement.
