Thank you!

We're still counting donations, but as of 5pm, we're incredibly grateful to the 132 community members who came together to raise more than $10,156 for New Hampshire Audubon during the last 24 hours of NH Gives.

Whether you chose to support ambassador animal care or our Annual Fund, your gift will help connect people with nature and protect New Hampshire's natural environment.

Thank you for being part of this inspiring day of giving.

From May until October, New Hampshire’s turtles are going to be out and about, and this means that many will be crossing roads to find good breeding and egg laying sites, and then returning to their habitats. Please be sure to watch your speed and take special care for any objects in the road. You may also notice turtle signs on the roads you drive. These have been placed by individuals and organizations to educate people about the movements of these animals and to alert drivers of known crossing areas.

If you see a turtle attempting to cross a road, you can help it by pulling over to a safe location, picking up the turtle, and moving it to the other side. It is very important to only move a turtle that is trying to cross the road and not one that is just sitting near a road. Only move them in the direction that they are crossing, not back to the side they came from. This will cause the turtle to reattempt crossing. Also, if you find a Snapping Turtle attempting to cross, you can use a broom, piece of cardboard, or car floormat to help it cross instead of picking it up.

Thank you for helping our state’s turtles stay safe this season! (If you find an injured turtle, call or text NH Turtle Rescue at 603-417-4944.)

PS - Come visit us at TurtleFest 2026 in Newmarket on Saturday, May 9 to learn more about turtles.

TOMORROW April 1st at 10:30 AM 🐦

Join us at Grey Rocks for Let’s Talk Nature: Where Have the Birds Gone?

A new 2025 report shows 75% of North American bird species are declining, including birds we once thought of as common.

If you’ve noticed quieter mornings or fewer birds in your backyard, you’re not imagining it. Let’s gather to talk about what’s changing, what it means here in New Hampshire, and what we can do about it.

And we're excited to share that Grace McCulloch of New Hampshire Audubon will be joining us to share insights into bird monitoring work happening right here in New Hampshire!

☕ Warm drinks + cookies included
