GRANIT View Basics; Using Online Mapping Programs for Wildlife Protection
Wednesday, October 14, at 12 noon on Zoom
Join us to learn how online mappers can be used to optimize your work to identify, protect, and manage wildlife habitats and other natural resources. We have a wealth of recent natural resources science available to us, and much of that is just a short click away from you! You can access a lot of information via the StatewideGRANITView mapper. We will review some prepared examples, and then there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion – be sure to bring your questions.

Creating a Town Land Conservation Inventory
Wednesday, October 28, at 12 noon on Zoom
Do you know where all the conservation and public lands are in your town? A comprehensive up-to-date list and map of conservation lands is integral to understanding your town’s monitoring, stewardship, and enforcement responsibilities. The location and distribution of conserved lands can also be usedby conservation commissions, land use planners, and conservation organizations to inform future land protection. Get ready to research! This program is an overview of where to find, identify and locate conservation lands and how to submit that information to GRANIT. (Note: This program builds offt he previousprogram on using GRANITView and assumes basic understanding of navigating the online mapper).
Handbooks and Guidance Documents
We publish the Handbook for New Hampshire’s Municipal Conservation Commissions, and the NH Municipal Conservation Fund Guidebook. We keep our members up-to-date with monthly E-newsletter with a current list of training opportunities. We provide wetlands guidance documents and sample templates for policies and procedures. Contact the NHACC office if you are looking for examples from other conservation commissions.
