New Hampshire’s snowpack is shrinking. Researchers are still uncovering the scope of what it means. • New Hampshire Bulletin
New England residents know that snow is disappearing from our landscape, and scientists have proven that climate change is to blame. But the effects of snowpack decline go far beyond what’s visible.

New Hampshire Public Radio@nhpr.org · 11mo agoInside the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in Woodstock, scientists have toiled for over 50 years to build a trove of research about bird habitat and forest ecology. It's believed to be the longest detailed record of breeding birds anywhere in the nation – and possibly the world.
Great story from Kate Dario at @nhpr.org about fall colors includes insights from Hubbard Brook's Amey Bailey. "Amey Bailey, a forest technician also at Hubbard Brook...described this year as “a perfect storm” of challenges for trees." 🌐🧪
How will this year’s weather impact fall foliage in New Hampshire?
2025 swung from a wet spring to a dry summer. Some scientists say this will make it hard for trees to produce vivid colors.
