Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to this special edition of New Hampshire Outlook.
NH's population is growing twice as fast as the rest of New England and with that growth comes change.
Rapid development is slowly affecting the state's landscape.
Towns that once seemed insulated from change -- now find themselves on the frontier of rapid growth with housing and shopping centers popping up.
Those are the findings of a report by the Society for the Protection of NH Forests.
I caught up with Dan Sundquist and Chris Wells from the Forest Society in Newfields -- to talk about the emerging trends in "NH's Changing Landscape".

Protecting Open Space from development -- has not "driven-up" tax rates in NH.
So says a "Trust for Public Land" study-- which looked at what would happen to a town's Tax bill if they wanted to conserve land rather than develop it.
The report concluded that towns that protect open space from development are NOT paying "higher" property taxes than their more developed neighbors.

Another report paints a picture of New Hampshire's changing rural landscape.
The New Hampshire Department of Agriculture released a series of recommendations in 2003 designed to highlight and preserve the industry that is slowly losing ground to sprawl.
It found agriculture may be a 750-million dollar industry but it has a 2-Billion dollar impact on New Hampshire's economy.
We learned first-hand about the changes in the rural landscape in January 2003 when we talked to New Hampshire Commissioner of Agriculture Steve Taylor.
Taylor is himself a dairy farmer.
Chip Neal revisits his trip to Lebanon and Meriden where he talked with Steve Taylor about New Hampshire's changing agricultural landscape.

That was Steve Taylor in the winter of 2003.
Since that interview, his department has focused on creating opportunities for people in the industry to connect with residents AND tourists.
The landscape is changing.
But the chances are greater than ever that you or someone you know soon will have an encounter with New Hampshire agriculture.
