A lush marsh area found during an early morning walk at Wagon Hill Farm, a conservation area in Durham, New Hampshire. Dense fog shrouds the trees in the distance. This area has interesting walking trails that wind through the forests and fields of an old farm property that borders Great Bay.

The marshes in Hampton, New Hampshire in late summer at sunset. The tide is high in the estuary which includes over 5,000 acres of salt marsh, the largest in New Hampshire.
This is critical habitat for nesting and migratory shorebirds, including the Saltmarsh Sparrow. New Hampshire Audubon is active in monitoring this area and educating the public about its importance. A report titled “Hampton-Seabrook Estuary Habitat Restoration Compendium” by UNH and NOAA describes restoration projects in this area designed to address issues caused by historical uses of the marshes that involved harvesting the marsh grasses and digging channels to redirect the tidal waters.
