Our Mission
To leverage advances in trail camera technology to increase fun and accessible engagement with land and wildlife conservation in a way that benefits and connects conservationists, educators, students, researchers, and community scientists alike.
Our Team
Sienna Painter, one of our 2026 interns, is joining us from the Antioch University New England Environmental Studies master’s program where she is focusing on conservation biology. She has a strong interest in insect life here in New Hampshire and is a fan of our beautiful Northern Flicker. Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, it’s no surprise she also loves ferns, especially Polystichum, which brings a touch of green to the landscape year-round. She is looking forward to a deep dive into New Hampshire's ecology!
Emily Laferriere, one of our 2026 interns, is a Coast Guard veteran and undergrad from University of New Hampshire, is joining us as a Small Family Community Fellow and is currently working on her bachelor of science in wildlife & conservation biology. She has a love for farm animals (especially donkeys) and a soft spot for opossums. Originally from Boise, it makes sense that she is also particularly drawn to the complex story of wolves in North America. Seeing one in the wild is firmly on her bucket list.
Depending on project size and complexity, we collaborate with other local wildlife biologists, ecologists, and habitat specialists to ensure the right expertise for every scenario. We love a good collaboration and are always interested in new opportunities to partner with others across the state and neighboring regions.
Founder, conservation biologist, and board chair Jaime McGuigan, MS started Access Conservation to create more ways for people to connect with the landscape and become better stewards of New Hampshire’s diverse wildlife habitats. Her master’s degree from Antioch University New England is the latest step in an eclectic scientific journey that includes decades spent in lab and field settings.
These days, she spends a lot of time thinking about where animals go and why, blending trail camera research, GIS mapping, and field ecology to better understand wildlife movement. Grounded in deep local knowledge of New Hampshire’s landscapes, she works to share these stories in ways that make conservation more accessible and engaging. In her free time, Jaime enjoys writing, art, and taking the long way home.
