2 WHAT IS WILDERNESS? A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain.

13 IS THERE E NOUGH WILDERNESS? GAP Analysis What is gap analysis? At its simplest, a gap analysis is an assessment of the extent to which a protected area system meets protection goals set by a nation or region to represent its biological diversity. Center for Biological Diversity Source:
14 WHERE IS WILDERNESS? GAP Analysis Categories 1 = permanent, legal, no motorized, to be maintained in natural state, e.g. TNC Preserve 2 = permanent, legal, limited snowmobiling allowed, no extractive uses, e.g. USFWS NWR's 3 = permanent, legal, extractive uses, motorized recreation allowed, e.g. most conservation easements, town forests 3A = no legal protection but intended natural area based on institution, e.g. universities, most town forests, etc. 4 = no legal protection, allows conversion of > 50% to unnatural cover, e.g. town parks, county lands, etc. 9 = Unknown Source:
15 GAP Analysis Categories In New Hampshire GAP 1: N = ,630 acres, 5.7% of consland GAP 2: N = ,410 acres, 47.9% GAP 3: N = ,087 acres, 36.9% GAP 3A: N = acres, 4.5% GAP 4: N = acres, 1.1% GAP 9: N = acres, 4.0% WHERE IS WILDERNESS? Source: NH GRANIT 2013

32 HOW DO WE INTEGRATE WILDERNESS INTO OUR LAND CONSERVATION PROJECTS? 1) Formulate Strategic Plan Establish firm basis for wilderness Advocate educate motivate Revise land conservation policies 2) Identify Target Sites for Protection Perform GIS assessment Contact NHNHB, NHF&G 3) Secure Dedicated Funding Donor options Consider partner organizations 4) Integrate Deed Restrictions that secures GAP 1 status in perpetuity
33 HOW DO WE INTEGRATE WILDERNESS INTO OUR LAND CONSERVATION PROJECTS? 1) Fee Ownerships o Ensure that purposes of transfer incorporate protective language: 2) Conservation Easements Recitals WHEREAS, Grantor wishes to ensure the perpetual preservation of the Protected Property as Forever Wild (as hereinafter defined) and protection of its natural values; WHEREAS, land preservation, the expansion of existing conservation areas and the establishment of wildlife linkages can be used to prevent further fragmentation and habitat loss, and to restore Ecological Integrity (Reed Noss and Allen Cooperrider, Saving Nature s Legacy, 1994) Definitions Forever Wild is a designation for land protected in its natural condition. The Ecological Integrity and wild character of the land are preserved and protected in perpetuity. Forever Wild land should be as free from human manipulation and disturbance as possible, with management actions, if any, primarily limited to ecological restoration or to preservation of natural communities and rare species at risk. Natural occurrences such as floods, weather events, and fire and native insect outbreaks should continue to influence the land over time, creating at times areas of downed, dead wood or early successional habitat. Conservation Purposes Grantor and Grantee acknowledge that the primary goal of this instrument is to maintain the Protected Property as conservation land whereby natural processes prevail, whole ecological systems may flourish, and diverse species are free to evolve in a relatively natural habitat.
34 HOW DO WE INTEGRATE WILDERNESS INTO OUR LAND CONSERVATION PROJECTS? 2) Conservation Easements Resticted Uses of the Burdened Property No use shall be made of the Protected Property, and no activity thereon shall be permitted which, in the reasonable opinion of Grantee, is or is likely to become inconsistent with the Purposes of this Easement. Permitted Use of the Burdened Property Low-impact, non-commercial, non-mechanized and nonmotorized recreation including bird watching, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and hiking, provided that such use does not increase to a level where it may be reasonably deemed to be inconsistent with the Purposes of this Easement Discretionary Consent Notwithstanding the prohibitions contained in Section III of this Easement, Grantee may consent to an activity that is otherwise prohibited thereunder based upon unforeseen or changed circumstances at the Grantee s sole discretion if the activity: (1) is non-commercial and not for economic benefit; (2) does not impair the conservation values of the Protected Property; and (3) is consistent with the Purposes as defined in Section II above; and (4) does not place at risk any flora or fauna, exemplary natural communities, critical wildlife habitat and/or unique ecological features. Any such act or use must be in compliance with the Management Plan. Such requests for permission shall be in writing and shall describe the proposed activity in sufficient detail to allow the Grantee to make the judgments listed above. Management Plan
35 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Allowance for Ecological Restoration Manipulation for wildlife habitat enhancement Coordination with State Fire Marshall on wildfire & property damage Neighbor relations & potential violations from motorized use Careful monitoring of low-impact recreation esp. mountain bikes Hunting & fishing ALL TO BE SPELLED OUT IN A MANAGEMENT PLAN!!!
