Trails for People and Wildlife: A Guide to Planning Trails that Allow People to Enjoy Nature and Wildlife to Thrive
Thursday, August 13
3:00 – 4:00 p.m. ET

Hiking, mountain biking, bird watching, and horseback riding are just some of the ways we get outside to enjoy nature and relax. However even these seemingly low-key activities can have a negative impact on wildlife by reducing their abundance, reproductive success, or even survival.

Join Jim Oehler from NH Fish and Game as he presents a webinar on a new mapping tool and guide called “Trails for People and Wildlife” that aims to encourage people to get outside and enjoy nature while allowing wildlife to thrive. The tool was funded by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and produced by the NH Fish and Game Department and Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. Intended for landowners, conservation groups, and natural resource professionals, the objective of “Trails for People and Wildlife” is to help facilitate the placement of thoughtfully located networks of well-maintained trails. It seeks to balance having wildlife species there for all of us to enjoy for years to come while providing trail planners and builders with the resources needed to achieve their public access goals.
