NH Natural Heritage Bureau

NH Natural Heritage is a bureau in the Division of Forests & Lands. Our mission is to find, track, and facilitate the protection of New Hampshire's rare plants and exemplary natural communities. We currently study 686 plant and animal species, 197 natural communities, and 45 natural community systems. Our database contains information on more than 7,300 species, natural community, and system occurrences throughout the state. Plants, Animals, and Natural Communities Tracked by the NH Natural Heritage Bureau

The following lists note the rare plants, rare animals, and exemplary natural communities and systems that the NH Natural Heritage Bureau has on record in each town. This document may not be used as a substitute for NH Natural Heritage Bureau reviews that are required by the Department of Environmental Services, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or any other local, state, or federal government agency. A few species that are highly vulnerable to collection are not included in the town lists. In addition, the list is dynamic: as new populations and natural communities are reported to our office, the list grows. Planners and interested residents should therefore contact the NH Natural Heritage Bureau directly if they need up-to-date information or have questions. Rare Plant Species

The NH Natural Heritage Bureau tracks the state's rarest and most imperiled plant species. We have identified these species in cooperation with researchers, conservation organizations such as The Nature Conservancy, and knowledgeable amateur botanists. Population locations for these species are obtained from a variety of sources including herbarium specimens (some dating from the late 1800s), personal contacts, scientific literature, and extensive field research. The NH Natural Heritage Bureau undertakes surveys on private property only with landowner permission. Rare Animal Species

The NH Natural Heritage Bureau tracks rare animal species in cooperation with the Nongame & Endangered Wildlife Program of the NH Fish & Game Department. The Nongame Program has identified these species in cooperation with researchers, conservation organizations such as the Audubon Society of New Hampshire, knowledgeable amateur biologists, and the NH Natural Heritage Bureau. Wildlife locations were obtained from sources including museum specimens, personal contacts, the scientific literature, and through extensive field research. Exemplary Natural Communities

Natural communities are defined as assemblages of plants and animals that recur in predictable patterns across the landscape under similar physical conditions. Basically they are different types of habitats or ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, grasslands, etc. Most of the New Hampshire landscape is covered by relatively common natural community types. Scattered throughout the state, however, and usually in predictable areas, are distinctive communities found in few other places. Particular sets of natural communities tend to co-occur in the landscape and are linked by a common set of driving forces (such as landforms, flooding, soils, and nutrient regime). These groups of communities are referred to as natural community systems (sometimes just referred to as systems). Systems are often at an appropriate scale for many applications, including mapping and predictive modeling, identifying wildlife and wildlife habitats, and conservation planning.

NH Natural Heritage Bureau

The NH Natural Heritage Bureau tracks "exemplary" natural community and system occurrences. To qualify as exemplary, a natural community or system in a given place must be of a rare type, such as a calcareous riverside seep, or must be a relatively undisturbed occurrence of a common community in good condition, such as an old-growth spruce - fir forest. Exemplary natural communities and systems represent the best remaining examples of New Hampshire’s biological diversity.

For each plant, animal, exemplary natural community, and system within a town, we have provided the following information:

Name Plants: Readers should remember that common names vary across the range of the plant. For example, "wild lupine" (Lupinus perennis) in New Hampshire is called "wild blue lupine" in New York and "sundial lupine" in other parts of its range; the name also commonly leads to confusion with garden lupine (Lupinus polyphyllus) which is not native to New Hampshire but grows wild in some areas. Scientific names are more standardized. The primary reference used for New Hampshire plants as of 2011 is:

Haines, Arthur. 2011. New England Wild Flower Society's Flora Novae Angliae A Manual for the Identification of Native and Naturalized Higher Vascular Plants of New England. Yale University Press. New Haven and London.

Wildlife: Common names are provided for all species that have them. Many insect species, particularly moths, do not have common names, so general terms such as "A Noctuid Moth" are used or no name is given ("--"). Scientific names are standardized with the scientific names used by other Natural Heritage programs.

Natural Communities: The names of natural communities reflect the plants that help define them, such as a beech forest, or the environmental processes that influence them, such as a boulder - cobble river channel.

Listing Plants: Most of New Hampshire's rare plants are listed as "threatened" or

"endangered" under the NH Native Plant Protection Act of 1987 (NH RSA 217-A). A subset of species are also listed under the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 (42 USCA ∋∋ 4321-4370c). Listing represents a political recognition of rarity, so some species that are biologically rare (and therefore included in the list) may not be listed as "threatened" or "endangered." Under the NH Native Plant Protection Act, "endangered" species are those in danger of being extirpated from the state, while "threatened" species face the possibility of becoming "endangered."

The presence of a rare plant or natural community does not limit a landowner's ability to use their land − this is stated explicitly in the NH Native Plant Protection Act. Landowners applying for state wetland permits are required by the NH Department of Environmental Services to review options for achieving their land-use objectives while protecting a rare plant or natural community, but projects will not be denied solely on the basis of a rare plant occurrence. In our experience, rare plants are typically destroyed because landowners are not aware of them; minor changes to their projects usually could have saved the rarities. Our goal is to help landowners protect rarities on their properties voluntarily.

NH Natural Heritage Bureau

Wildlife: A portion of New Hampshire's rare animals are listed as "threatened" or "endangered" under the NH Endangered Species Conservation Act of 1979 (NH RSA 212-A). "Endangered" species are those in danger of being extirpated from the state, while "threatened" species face the possibility of becoming "endangered." A subset of these species are also listed under the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973. In New Hampshire, an additional "special concern" list contains (a) species that could become "threatened" in the foreseeable future if conservation actions are not taken or that were recently recovered enough to be removed from the endangered and threatened category and (b) species for which a large portion of their global or regional range (or population) occurs in New Hampshire and where actions to protect these species habitat will benefit the species' global population. Species that do not meet the criteria for "endangered", "threatened", or "special concern", but that are still biologically rare, as indicated by the State and Global Ranks, are also listed as rare in New Hampshire.

Rare wildlife in New Hampshire are under the jurisdiction of the Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program in the NH Fish & Game Department.

Known Locations We have noted the number of known occurrences of a given plant, animal, or natural

community within each town. There has not been a comprehensive search of the state for rare species or natural communities, so we are frequently finding or learning about previously unknown populations and adding them to the list. Further, many rare plant and animal populations have not been checked since they were originally found, sometimes more than 50 years ago, so we do not know the current status of these populations. We have listed populations that have not been reported to us in the last 20 years as "historical only"; these populations may still be present, but field surveys are necessary to confirm their survival.

We have also included the number of known occurrences of each plant, animal, natural community, and system within the entire state. If no locations are indicated (- -), the species or natural community is known to have once occurred in the state, but specific sites are not in our database.

Flags When considering rarity, it is important to consider the status of a species or natural

community both in New Hampshire and across its entire range. Some species, such as Robbins' cinquefoil (Potentilla robbinsiana), are critically imperiled throughout their global range. Other species, such as green-dragon (Arisaema dracontium), are very rare in New Hampshire but quite common in other parts of their range.

A plant species is "globally rare" if it has fewer than 20 populations anywhere in the world, or if it has more populations but few reproducing individuals. "State rare" species are those that have few populations or total individuals in New Hampshire.

The rankings for wildlife are based more on the degree of imperilment than on the number of occurrences in the state, although abundance certainly plays a role in assessing a species' long-term viability in New Hampshire. Some species, such as the fish crow (Corvus ossifragus) have only a few occurrences in New Hampshire but, since they are expanding northward into the state, they are considered to be vulnerable but not imperiled. Blanding's turtles (Emydoidea blandingii), on the other hand, are distributed

NH Natural Heritage Bureau

fairly broadly across the state, but populations are small and vulnerable to habitat loss, so they are considered at risk.

The relative quality of a given rare species population, natural community, or system is also important when assessing its conservation importance. We consider all populations to be of high conservation value, but an "excellent" population (say with several hundred plants) of a globally rare species is particularly important when compared to a "marginal" population (say with only five plants).

To help planners assess the relative importance of rare species and exemplary natural communities or systems in their town, we have attached "flags" to occurrences that have been recorded in the last 20 years. The flags are as follows:

**** Highest An excellent example of a globally rare species, natural community, or system

*** Extremely High A good example of a global rarity or an excellent example of a state rarity

** Very High A marginal example of a global rarity or a good example of a state rarity

* High A marginal example of a state rarity

Readers should remember that there are many different ways to assess the value of a rare species population, natural community, or system. We therefore recommend that towns contact the NH Natural Heritage Bureau at (603) 271-2215 to discuss why occurrences in their towns were flagged at each level.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you!

NH Natural Heritage Bureau

A Quick Overview of the NH Natural Heritage Bureau's Purpose and Policies

The Natural Heritage Bureau is mandated by the Native Plant Protection Act of 1987 (NH RSA 217-A) to determine protective measures and requirements necessary for the survival of native plant species in the state, to investigate the condition and degree of rarity of plant species, and to distribute information regarding the condition and protection of these species and their habitats.

The Natural Heritage Bureau provides information to facilitate informed land-use decision-making. We are not a regulatory agency; instead, we work with landowners and land managers to help them protect the State's natural heritage and meet their land-use needs.

The Natural Heritage Bureau has three facets:

Inventory involves identifying new occurrences of sensitive species and classifying New Hampshire's biodiversity. We currently study more than 680 plant and animal species and 240 natural communities. Surveys for rarities on private lands are conducted only with landowner permission.

Tracking is the management of occurrence data. Our database currently contains information about more than 7,300 plant, animal, and natural community occurrences in New Hampshire.

Interpretation is the communication of Natural Heritage Bureau information. Our goal is to cooperate with public and private land managers to help them protect rare species populations and exemplary natural communities.
