Did you know our local artist designed logo represents the New Hampshire State Amphibian?
The spotted newt, Notophthalmus viridescens, was designated as the official state amphibian of New Hampshire after the 2 year effort of highschool students in 1985. The Union Leader newspaper (April 25, 1985, p48) lists the newts as the “perfect symbol for ensuring ecology in New Hampshire as they exist predominantly in the rain and runoff sodden areas.”
Have seen these little ones out on your adventures?
