Smooth Green Snake: Why Protecting and Maintaining Critical Habitat in the Chocorua Lake Basin Matters
Recently we spotted a smooth green snake (Liochlorophis vernalis) resting on the edge of a CLC field. NH Fish & Game lists the smooth green snake as a species of special concern, vulnerable throughout New Hampshire due to loss of open field habitat. New Hampshire is eighty percent forested, so maintaining field habitat in this region is especially important.

Bears in the Basin
New Hampshire Fish and Game recommends only hanging bird feeders outside between December 1, or the full onset of winter, and April 1, and taking care to keep garbage and other temptations inaccessible—to protect bears as well as humans and bird feeders.
