Protecting NH’s Natural Environment for Wildlife and for People
We are fortunate to live in a state with abundant birds and other wildlife, and the habitats and ecosystems that support them. Our quality of life is inextricably tied to the wild places that surround us throughout the state. NH Audubon’s programs protect species like Bald Eagles and Peregrine Falcons, educate youth and adults about conservation, manage 7,500 acres of sanctuary habitat, lead hikes, and go birding. Founded in 1914, NH Audubon is separate and independent from National Audubon, and we rely on donations and membership to enable our important work.

NH Audubon actively stewards over 7,500 acres on 39 wildlife sanctuaries, spanning every New Hampshire county. Our lands provide opportunities to explore 75 miles of trails through forests and bogs, along lake shores, and over mountains. We actively enhance wildlife habitat by maintaining open fields, creating wildlife openings, and removing invasive species. Our sanctuaries protect several species of rare plants and animals, as well as unique natural communities. Visit one of these scenic locations and recharge!
