WILD NH DAY
IS APRIL 16
Bring the family to Discover
WILD New Hampshire Day, the
N.H. Fish and Game Dept.'s
biggest community event of the
year. The event is set for Saturday, April 16, from 10 a.m. to 3
p.m. on the grounds of the Fish
and Game Department at 11
Hazen Drive in Concord. Admission is free.
Discover WILD New Hampshire Day is a fun way for the
whole family to explore New
Hampshire’s wildlife resources
and legacy of outdoor traditions.
Browse exhibits presented by
more than 60 outdoor and conservation organizations from
throughout the state. See live
animals, big fish and trained
falcons. Try your hand at
archery, casting, fly-tying and
air rifle. Watch retriever dogs in
action. Get creative with handson craft activities for the kids.
Plus, check out the latest hunting and fishing gear and gadgets.
Tie a fly with members of
Trout Unlimited. Learn to call
turkeys with the N.H. Chapter
of the Wild Turkey Federation.
Explore new trends in recycling
and environmental protection
with N.H. Dept. of Environmental
Services staff. Live animal presentations take place throughout
the day. Bass Pro Shops will have
their big casting boat on site. And
everyone enjoys a peek at the big
trout and salmon in the Fish and
Game hatchery truck.
Be sure to stop by the Wildlife
Heritage Foundation of New
Hampshire tent, where Fish and
Game’s nonprofit partner will
hold a raffle of outdoor gear and
other great prizes, plus a sale of
used hunting and fishing gear.
"The people of New Hampshire care deeply about our wildlife and conserving their
environment," said Fish and
Game Director Glenn Normandeau.
The event is hosted by the
N.H. Fish and Game Dept.

Foundation of New Hampshire
(nhwildlife-heritage.org),
the
agency’s nonprofit partner.
