2026 Community Technical Assistance
The Taking Action for Wildlife team offers direct technical assistance to communities interested in incorporating wildlife and habitat information into their land conservation, land-use planning, land stewardship, and outreach. This year we are accepting applications on a rolling basis, so communities can apply whenever they are ready!
Who Should Apply: Any New Hampshire community is welcome to apply. Applications are usually submitted by Conservation Commissions, but we also encourage applications from other municipal boards or committees seeking assistance related to wildlife and habitat protection. Applications should reflect interest from multiple members of the commission or board, with a strong interest in pursuing a tangible goal or project.
What to Expect: There is no fee for this assistance. Communities must commit to at least one meeting with Taking Action for Wildlife staff, which can be held during a regular Conservation Commission meeting. We typically require approximately one hour of meeting time to review relevant wildlife and habitat information and facilitate discussion to help clarify goals and next steps.
How We Can Help: While applicants should be prepared to do the work required to achieve the desired outcome, our team can support you in accomplishing your goals or project. We can provide assistance in outreach & education, land stewardship, land conservation, land-use planning, and natural resource inventories.
How to Apply: Visit the Community Assistance page of the Taking Action for Wildlife website to learn more, read more examples of ways we can help, and find details on how to apply.
