Land Conservation

Land Conservation

Since acquiring its first sanctuary in the 1960s, NH Audubon has been committed to the conservation of ecologically important lands. NH Audubon currently owns 39 wildlife sanctuaries totaling over 7,400 acres and holds 27 conservation easements totaling over 2,500 acres.

Our land protection program primarily focuses on acquiring land that would add to the protection, management or educational value of existing wildlife sanctuaries.

NH Audubon also considers other land protection priorities including:

  • Creates or aids in creating unfragmented tracts of wildlife habitat determined to be significant according to the New Hampshire Wildlife Action Plan
  • Is suitable for linking tracts of wildlife habitat determined to be significant according to the New Hampshire Wildlife Action Plan
  • Is within an Important Bird Area, as defined in the New Hampshire Important Bird Area Program, or is significant to preserving or linking such areas
  • Is of exceptional ecological value, including exemplary natural plant communities identified by the New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau
  • Is near population centers and is suitable for use in nature study or conservation education
  • Is acquired in conjunction with conservation partners that enhances our mission and supports and strengthens our relationship with our partners and the public

Please contact NH Audubon if you are interested in learning more about options for conserving your land.
