Piscataquog Land Conservancy's Nissitissit Headwaters Preserve has several bird and turtle species of conservation concern in NH who nest on the property. These species depend on shrubland and early successional forest habitats to nest in. These habitats provide them with protection from predators and abundant food sources. Cutting back some of the older and overgrown areas of the forest will help maintain the vital resources this type of habitat provides.

Volunteers will be provided an overview of the birds that have been identified on the property and a better understanding of the habitat management task at hand, while also getting to spend the day outside helping the wildlife.

Volunteers are being asked to help for three hours to cut back shrubs and saplings in the nesting areas.
