We are busy pruning wild apple trees for wildlife, so far 121 have been done this season. Apples and the trees themselves are an important food food source for many species in New Hampshire. We release (cut the over shadowing non-apple trees) to allow light into the apple trees and then prune them to help with fruit production.
Some of the species that have been observed taking advantage of this food source are deer, bear, fisher, coyote, squirrels, moose, bobcats, wild turkeys, roughed grouse and porcupine to name but a few.
