More information is available in the document unfrag_datanotes.pdf. Purpose: This coarse filter analysis represents a preliminary data set completed for incorporation into the NH Wildlife Action Plan. Funding was provided by State Wildlife Grants administered by the US Fish & Wildlife Service. Supplemental_Information: The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (NHFGD) has worked together with partners in the conservation community to create the state's first Wildlife Action Plan (WAP). The plan, which was mandated and funded by the federal government through the State Wildlife Grants program, provides New Hampshire decision-makers with important tools for restoring and maintaining critical habitats and populations of the state's species of conservation and management concern. It is a pro-active effort to define and implement a strategy that will help keep species off of rare species lists. More information about the NH Wildlife Action Plan is available online at http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Wildlife/wildlife_plan.htm.

The WAP data were prepared with spatial models that used data at multiple scales and are time-limited. The user is advised of these complications. NHFGD and the conservation partners for the WAP do not warrant the completeness or accuracy of the data nor make claim to any implied uses of the data.
