The NH GIS Technical Advisory Committee Task Force is developing a long-term plan for regular acquisition of statewide aerial imagery that will meet the needs of GIS data users throughout New Hampshire. If you make use of GIS data and aerial photography in New Hampshire, you are invited to participate in an important conversation about the future of statewide imagery collection.

Input is being sought from GIS data users concerning their current and expected future use of statewide aerial imagery and desired technical specifications for the applications they support.  You can represent the needs of your organization, town, or agency by completing an online aerial imagery needs assessment survey, and/or attending an input session.

UNH Cooperative Extension will host the inaugural NH Invasives Academy, a 2-day workshop focused on invasive plants on September 27-28 at the Seacoast Science Center in Rye.

At this special two-day workshop focused on invasive plants, up to 40 attendees will have the opportunity to attend presentations, participate in hands-on activities, learn from colleagues, experts, and each other, and attend field trips covering ecological considerations and management strategies for invasive plants in New Hampshire. Instruction for the Academy will be provided by a diverse group of agency, academic, non-profit, and private industry partners. Attendees will learn tools and techniques to improve their management plans and activities. The Academy is designed for those with a strong interest and some experience in natural resources stewardship, including foresters, land trust staff, natural resource professionals, private landowners, and active community volunteers. In exchange for the 2-day training, participants agree to return to their New Hampshire communities and contribute 20 hours of time sharing information learned with landowners, colleagues, clients or other members of their community. A $65 registration fee partially covers meals, transportation, and materials. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis through September 15th, with application review beginning on August 1^st.
