Trails for People and Wildlife
(If you are planning to create or assess a trail, check out the guide at the link above. Funded by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department has developed a statewide tool that can be used to assess existing trails and create new trails in the most wildlife-friendly way.)
