Moose: Seasonal Habitat Shifts & Threats
Henry Jones, Moose Project Leader, NH Fish & Game
Moose don’t usually come to mind when you think about animal migration, but join NH Fish and Game Moose Biologist, Henry Jones to about the major habitats moose use throughout the year as well as some of the finer details that change each season. All in the context of their overall ecology. This information will help attendees understand moose status in New Hampshire and help the species.
Henry coordinates moose management in New Hampshire which includes monitoring the size and health of the moose population, promoting conservation of moose habitat, managing moose-related recreation, and providing information to the public. Henry earned a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Wildlife Ecology from the University of New Hampshire and has served as the Moose Project Leader since 2019.

Studying Whale Migration Along North America’s East Coast
Dianna Schulte, Director of Research, Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation
For centuries—if not millennia—whales have been hunted, yet their migration patterns remained largely a mystery until recent decades. Today, our understanding is being further disrupted by a rapidly changing climate, which alters what we thought we knew about their movements.
Despite incredible advances in modern technology, these sentient beings still manage to keep us guessing and protecting whales has become a greater challenge than ever before. Join me as we explore a century of whale tracking along North America’s east coast and uncover the profound implications of recent environmental changes on their migration patterns.
Dianna Schulte is the co-founder and Director of Research at Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation located in Portsmouth, NH. She has been studying local whale populations since the mid-1990’s and has documented numerous changes in whale activity over the past 30 years.
