The NH Coverts Project is accepting applications from new volunteers interested in taking part in the 2025 NH Coverts Project training workshop on May 14-17 at the Barbara C. Harris Conference Center in Greenfield.

Started in 1995, the NH Coverts Project has trained over 500 volunteers in promoting wildlife conservation and forest stewardship throughout the state. Each year, 25 conservation-minded residents gather with a team of natural resource professionals for a 4-day workshop, where they learn about wildlife and forest ecology, habitat management, land conservation and effective outreach.

There is a $50 registration fee; however, program sponsors fund all lodging, food, and other expenses.

The N.H. Coverts Project is sponsored by UNH Cooperative Extension and New Hampshire Fish & Game. The program also receives support from the New Hampshire Division of Forests and Lands.

THE APPLICATION DEADLINE IS MARCH 1, 2024. Acceptance will be based on applicants' interest and ability to use and share lessons from the training, on their property or in their community.
