On June 14, 2025, NHARL and Voices of Wildlife in NH shared a booth at Portsmouth Market Square Day, where we educated the public about the harm rodenticide poses to wildlife and collected signatures in support of ending their use in New Hampshire.
Collecting signatures
We gathered close to 200 signatures in support of banning the use of rodenticides that are killing hawks, owls, foxes, and other predators who end up consuming poisoned rodents.
We will use this list to demonstrate widespread support for legislative or policy changes that we plan to pursue in the future.
Eye-Catching Visuals
Our posters and props were useful in catching attention and helping convey the grave threat rodenticides pose to wildlife.
Our handout included tips for safe rodent control and a list of poison-free professionals.
Thank you to our volunteers and everyone who stopped by to learn about the harms of rodent poison! Let’s work together for a Rodenticide Free NH!
