This is a message from former NH State Representative Anne Cartwright

Dear friends and concerned landowners,

I have information on the expansion of the Silvio O. Conte Wildlife Refuge by the US Fish & Wildlife Service in large parts of our state. This plan to expand, for which I was sent notifications as landowner in the proposed expansion, includes MA, CT, Southern and Northern areas in VT and NH. I am including links to maps of areas in NH and VT for which you might have an interest. The first 2 maps help to show the huge area that this will encompass. The 3rd link is to the home page for the entire document.

Southern Area:

Also I am including a couple of links to more detailed maps of a few of the towns and
property within the plan.
