NH Fish and Game Small Grants
-
Do you own more than 25 contiguous acres and have an old field that needs to be mowed, an apple tree that needs pruning or even some alders that are no longer vibrant? NH Fish and Game is now taking applications for our small grants program which helps landowners accomplish habitat projects on their properties. The program pays up to $4000.00 per year (no more than $10,000.00 over 10 years) in exchange for your property remaining open to the public for non-motorized hunting and fishing. This program is a direct result of the $2.50 habitat fee charged on hunting licenses sold in New Hampshire. This fall NHFG has approximately $30,000.00 remaining for projects and funding is provided on a first come first serve basis. For more information go to https://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/habitat/small-grants to find the biologist in your area you can contact to participate in the program!

Culvert Replacement and Instream Habitat Restoration on Indian Stream, New Hampshire
-
In 2006, an initial watershed based assessment of coldwater habitat conditions was completed by Trout Unlimited in the Upper Connecticut in New Hampshire and Vermont. In 2008, Trout Unlimited designated the Upper Connecticut as one if its Home Rivers Initiatives, the only one in New England. Trout Unlimited's assessment identified fish habitat problems through the watershed, including lack of riparian habitat, poor instream habitat diversity and complexity, and inadequate stream crossings. This project will initiate the first phase of a long term culvert removal and instream habitat program by replacing four high priority culverts and implementing instream woody habitat restorations in Indian Stream, starting on the East Branch. The culverts to be replaced are on four important brook trout nursery streams: Dry Creek, Johns Brook, Hidden Brook, and Alder Brook. The project will restore 3 miles of habitat on east branch, the largest tributary to Indian Stream.
