This is a recording of Cody Crytzer’s thesis defense “Access to Nature in New Hampshire: Equity and Quality of Life” in partial fulfillment of his MS in Natural Resources from UNH, presented on April 17, 2023. A file with the slides is linked below.

This research aims to understand how people working in New Hampshire’s nature economy identify natural assets, access to nature, and barriers and opportunities for access to nature, with a focus on access and equity for underserved communities. Qualitative data were collected through 19 statewide interviews, including a mini-case of Rochester, New Hampshire.
