Before you buy

Who this is for

Made for

  • People who keep a record and want the reference already on the page
  • Teachers and parents doing a year of nature with a child
  • Anyone who prefers paper to another app

Not for

  • Anyone wanting a dated planner — these pages are deliberately undated so you can print them again next year

Everything here describes typical timing across New Hampshire, drawn from long-run records — weather, elevation and how close you are to water all move the real dates around. So the New Hampshire pages say "usually early May" and never "May 4th", which is not hedging but the most the data can honestly carry.

Where it comes from

Compiled from

USGS Breeding Bird Survey · State fish & wildlife agencies · USA National Phenology Network · Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center · Cooperative Extension (land-grant directory) · International Meteor Organization. How each of these is used in the New Hampshire edition, and which figures are measured rather than modeled, is set out in the methodology.

Questions

Before you decide

Is this specific to New Hampshire, or a national guide with the name swapped in?

It is built from New Hampshire's own data. Each month's reference side is written from New Hampshire's data for that month, not a national average.

New Hampshire spans several hardiness zones — which one does this cover?

All of them. New Hampshire runs 3a–6b, and the guide carries each zone's timing rather than picking one and hoping it fits your garden.

How accurate is the timing for New Hampshire?

It describes typical timing across New Hampshire drawn from long-run records, and because weather, elevation and habitat move real New Hampshire dates around it says "usually early May" rather than "May 4th".

Is it worth paying when the New Hampshire pages here are free?

The free New Hampshire pages are the month you are in; this is the whole New Hampshire year, planned before it arrives and printable, so you are not holding a screen in the garden.

Will it work for my part of New Hampshire, or just the big cities?

It is written at state resolution — New Hampshire as a whole, with regional notes where New Hampshire genuinely differs end to end, and nothing behind it is recorded finely enough to honestly promise more than that.

What format is the New Hampshire edition, and can I print it?

A PDF laid out for both Letter and A4, one page per sheet — printing it is the point, since the New Hampshire pages are made to be carried outside.

What if the New Hampshire guide is not what I expected?

Email hello@birchcompass.com within 30 days for a full refund on the New Hampshire edition, and keep the files either way — asking for them back would be theatre.
