Wildflower Plantings to Support Pollinators

Creating and enhancing pollinator habitat is of growing interest to Granite State land owners, property managers, farmers, and landscapers. “The interest in helping pollinators has been astounding. There are literally hundreds of pollinator gardens and habitats that have been installed in New Hampshire alone in the last few years,” New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station researcher Cathy Neal said.

Concord Monitor: Facing the political realities of school funding

The New Hampshire Commission to Study School Funding, in partnership with the Carsey School, found that New Hampshire heavily depends on local property taxes to pay for public schools, which is inequitable to both students and taxpayers. The Commission has proposed a new formula to calculate the cost of an adequate education based on student needs and each community’s ability to raise money to pay for its schools.

Serving New Hampshire: Research, Teaching, and Outreach

As the university's original research organization, the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station (NHAES) has remained an elemental component of New Hampshire's land-grant university heritage and mission since 1887. The initial mandate to the novel system of State Agricultural Experiment Stations was to undertake research of importance to agriculture for New Hampshire, New England, and the nation.

NH Agricultural Experiment Station Scientists to Present Research at 2019 NH Farm and Forest Expo

How can farmers extend their forage production season in New Hampshire? How can soil microbes improve farm and forest productivity? Researchers with the NH Agricultural Experiment Station at the University of New Hampshire will present their latest research on these topics at the 2019 New Hampshire Farm and Forest Expo.

Grass Turf a Promising Foe in Invasive Glossy Buckthorn Fight

Planting grass turf in tilled agricultural soil greatly reduced the ability of new growth of the invasive shrub glossy buckthorn to establish itself in a new area by seed, according to researchers with the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station at the University of New Hampshire. The new finding provides a promising potential tool for loggers, foresters, and landowners trying to manage this non-native invasive shrub known to reduce the regeneration density and growth of economically important tree species such as eastern white pine.
