'North Woods Law' Returns Sunday To Animal Planet Network

CONCORD, NH — An all-new season of "North Woods Law," the Animal Planet show featuring New Hampshire's conservation officers, returns to the airwaves Sunday. The program will have a two-hour premiere beginning at 8 p.m. The rest of the season will air at 9 p.m. on Sundays.

The new season will "continue to document the work and lives" of the officers "who work tirelessly to preserve and protect the natural resources of the Granite State," according to Col. Kevin Jordan of the New Hampshire Fish & Game Department.

Conservation officers enforce laws, rules, and regulations when it comes to New Hampshire's fish, wildlife, recreational vehicles, and marine resources, as well as search and rescue missions. In the new season, officers will be navigating the North Country's weather as well as rescuing a bear from a home, pursuing a hunter poaching wild turkeys, ATV enforcement, and other activities.

"Fans won’t want to miss an episode of this exciting ninth season," Jordan said. "We are very pleased with how the last season was received and that Animal Planet continues to be excited about working with us here in New Hampshire. Our constituents seem to only have positive feedback for this real-life look at the work of the state's conservation officers, biologists, and volunteers. And just as we hoped, North Woods Law is serving to help the public understand the complexity of the work the department and these officers are doing."

The entire season of the show is available to viewers on the Animal Planet GO app.
