This is a piping plover: a wild bird species that was once thought to have disappeared from NH (for over FIVE decades). But now, they're back—thanks to support from our friends at NH Fish & Game. Learn more about Project Plover here: wildlife.nh.gov/wildlife-and-h…

This heat has us yearning for the coast! One of our favorite places to catch a glimpse of the coast is this spot in Portsmouth by the Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion Historic Site (repaired thanks to a #MoosePlate grant project!), overlooking Little Harbor. 💚

Did you know that historic covered bridges in New Hampshire are so iconic that they have their own Wikipedia page? 🤔 Well, now you do! Don't forget to check out the Haverhill-Bath Bridge on this list—which was restored as part of a Moose Plate grant project!

It's that time of the year again! We can hardly believe it, but the NH SCC is once again accepting grant applications! Learn more here and please reach out if you have any questions: agriculture.nh.gov/publications-f…

In NH, Bald Eagles aren't just a US symbol—they are a cherished part of our ecosystem! #DidYouKnow that Bald Eagles (& Peregrine Falcons) lay eggs across NH? The NH Fish and Game Nongame & Endangered Wildlife Program works to protect these and other rare birds! #4thOfJuly 🦅

As a Moose Plate recipient agency, LCHIP uses plate funds to protect NH's natural, historic, and cultural resources. Together, we've accomplished some incredible things together! Thank you, LCHIP, for everything! Keep up the amazing work! #conservation #historicpreservation

POP QUIZ! In celebration of 25 years of Moose Plates, we're testing your #MoosePlate fun facts. Today's question: who illustrated the moose design that appears on the Moose Plate? 🤔 Let's see who's the first to guess correctly in the comments! Ready, set...GO! #conservation

Moving toward the future, it's important to understand the past. To do that properly, we need to make a conscious effort to preserve buildings, artworks, and other resources that help us connect to the past. Cheers to our friends at LCHIP & DNCR for helping us do that just that!

For #EarthDay, we want to highlight a team that captures the awe-striking beauty of the state of New Hampshire. Thank you, Jerry & Marcy Monkman, for being part of our mission to keep New Hampshire beautiful! Images courtesy of EcoPhotography, LLC

#DidYouKnow that April is New Hampshire #Archeology Month? To celebrate, here's another NHB storytime! During a recent archeological excavation at Bear Brook State Park, The Division of Historic Resources unearthed a 3,500-year-old hearth. Take a look below for details!

Did you know that Lynx are specialized hunters? With large eyes and superb hearing, they are well-equipped for spotting mice from 250 feet away! Truly a “fur-ensic” expert! Moose Plate funds support the Lynx, an #endangeredspecies protected by the NH Fish and Game Department! 💚

Moose Plates support the Land & Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) in their efforts throughout New Hampshire, including projects like the Sawyer Brook Headwaters! This was Ausbon Sargent’s first conserved property in #GranthamNH 💚 #conservation #newhampshire

POP QUIZ TIME 💚 How much has the Moose Plate program raised so far? 🤔 Here's a hint: we're celebrating 25 years of Moose Plates! Give us your best guess (and kudos to the people who might know exactly where to look 😉)

Through historic research, field visits, and desktop reconnaissance, the NHB team determined key areas on the landscape where old forests may occur. They are working to uncover new locations of old forests through tree coring, shown here! #conservation #forests #mooseplate

Here's another National Heritage Bureau storytime! This winter, our friends at NHB frequented Mt. Sunapee to find old forests—which comprise less than 0.001% of our state's forests. #NewHampshire
