Summary

New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte signed Senate Bill 592, now Chapter 337, into law to protect wildlife movement corridors. The bill integrates local conservation goals with energy resource development planning. Going forward, development plans must include protection measures for core habitat strongholds and wildlife movement corridors.
