Grant Overview
Risk Compliance for Forest Ecosystem Management in New Hampshire
New Hampshire's extensive forests cover nearly 84% of the state, providing vital ecosystems that support biodiversity, recreation, and the economy. However, these ecosystems face significant risks from climate change, invasive species, and unsustainable forestry practices. In response, the Forest Ecosystem Management Workshops are designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to address these challenges through practical engagement with local forestry practices. Understanding risk compliance in the context of forest management is a key component of this program.
Eligible participants include undergraduate biology students interested in applied ecology and forest management. The program focuses on ensuring that student projects align with state guidelines and sustainability goals, which are crucial given the regulatory environment surrounding forest practices in New Hampshire. Applications require students to submit proposals that outline clear objectives for working with local forestry professionals, demonstrating how their research will address current ecosystem risks.
Within the context of New Hampshire's unique forest landscape, the program aims to bridge gaps in knowledge related to forest management and conservation. Students will work directly with local stakeholders to develop strategies for mitigating risks, promoting biodiversity, and ensuring compliance with state and federal forestry regulations. This hands-on approach facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of ecological health and responsible forest management.
Ultimately, the Forest Ecosystem Management Workshops aspire to produce graduates who are not only knowledgeable about forest ecosystems but also equipped to lead sustainable management initiatives in New Hampshire. By fostering collaboration with local forestry stakeholders, this program will contribute to the resilience of New Hampshire's forests, ensuring that they can thrive in the face of environmental challenges.
