Roadkill Project at Rye Jr. High
(Yes, there is a serious side to this!)

Check out the protocol for this project here.
We are trying to keep track of the weather during the roadkill project.

Listen to an NPR story about the Roadkill Project and the

person who started it, "Dr. Splatt," aka Mr. Brewster Bartlett.

Here are some more sites to help you research the towns and animals.

NH's WildlifeProfiles
World Health Organization's Health Topics
Rabies(CDC)
NH State Government
NH Census Information 
Census: Population, Land Area (1990)
Census state data centers
NH Community Profiles
