Helane Shields was a longtime member of the New Hampshire Animal Rights League and a passionate animal advocate.
Her legacy included a generous gift to NHARL, which we used to establish the Helane Shields Wildlife Fund in her honor.
The fund will be used to further our efforts to protect the wild animals of New Hampshire that Helane so loved, including beavers.
According to her husband, Charles, there’s a beaver pond not far from their home, and in winter Helane enjoyed seeing the steam from the beavers’ breath rising from their lodge.
