Investing in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Hampshire</strong> now, to conserve<br />
wildlife <strong>and</strong> natural areas for future generations.<br />
Did you know that <strong>the</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Hampshire</strong> <strong>Fish</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Game</strong> <strong>Department</strong> has a new nonprofit<br />
partner? The Wildlife Heritage Foundation of <strong>New</strong> <strong>Hampshire</strong> was created to enhance,<br />
through private financial support, <strong>the</strong> critical conservation <strong>and</strong> education programs of <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Department</strong>. The Foundation raises money <strong>and</strong> works h<strong>and</strong>-in-h<strong>and</strong> with wildlife professionals<br />
<strong>and</strong> conservation educators to fund <strong>the</strong> conservation of wildlife <strong>and</strong> natural places that are<br />
important to family traditions like fishing, hunting, hiking <strong>and</strong> watching wildlife.<br />
Casting is one of many<br />
activities offered at Discover<br />
Wild <strong>New</strong> <strong>Hampshire</strong> Day.<br />
Making an Impact<br />
The positive impact of <strong>the</strong> Foundation<br />
is already being felt. It supports <strong>Fish</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Game</strong>’s production of Wild Times for Kids, a<br />

about fish <strong>and</strong> wildlife into <strong>the</strong> state’s classrooms.<br />
The Foundation also sponsors <strong>Fish</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>Game</strong>’s major conservation education<br />
event, Discover WILD <strong>New</strong> <strong>Hampshire</strong><br />
