NHs Wild History: 350 Years of NH Wildlife 

Great video, very informative learned a lot always wondered about these stone walls in the middle of the forest👍 too bad they didn’t really care about the wildlife

Wow, 60-80% cleared for crops and pasturelands.

The fault of this sort of analysis is that it falls into the trap of viewing pre European north America as pristine. By that time the settlers got here temperate zone musk ox, horses, tapirs, 2 sorts of peccaries, giant beavers, 3 sorts of ground sloths, mastodons and mammoths had already been knocked out of the equation. Elk and bison followed soon after European settlement. In the past these big munching mouths kept much of the landscape as open grassland dotted with trees and groves wrapped in thorny/fruity hedge. Management choices should be made with these facts in mind.

I raised my hand but you did not call on me....
