Holderness Forest Natural Resource Inventories

Town of Holderness, New Hampshire

FBE conducted natural resource inventories (NRIs) for the 105-acre Pilote Forest and the 25-acre Howe Town Forest properties in Holderness, NH. The inventories included desktop analysis and GIS mapping of natural resource features including wetlands, geology/soils, land use/land cover, and significant plant and animal habitat. FBE also conducted field assessments to identify and document natural resource features including wetlands and watercourses, natural community types, and wildlife habitat. FBE's resulting NRI report provided the Town with baseline information regarding the properties' natural attributes and will be useful in developing natural resource-focused management plans for the forest sites.
