Birds of Forests, Wet Fields & Wetlands Walks

UNH Extension will hold two Spring Wildlife Habitat Walks on Birds of Forests, Wet Fields & Wetlands on Saturday, May 29^th at 7:15 am and 9:15 am at Graylag Cabins in Pittsfield, NH.

The Spring Wildlife Habitat series of field-based workshops is for landowners, conservation commission members, natural resources professionals, and anyone else interested in learning how to identify forest, field, and wetland wildlife habitats and approaches for maintaining or enhancing those habitats to benefit specific wildlife species.

Each workshop will occur entirely in the field. Workshop participants are encouraged to watch the recorded presentation Introduction to Wildlife Habitat Assessment and Management prior to attending any of these workshops; we will be applying the information discussed in that presentation during each workshop.

Matt Tarr, Extension’s State Wildlife Specialist, and Anne Deeley of Graylag Cabins will lead two leisurely walks to identify birds by sight & sound within forest, shrubby wet fields, and wetland edges. They will discuss bird ecology and how to maintain the habitats we visit to support a variety of bird species.

Registration is limited and required for each walk. Sign up for one of the following times:

Early Tour: 7:15 AM to 9:00 AM; 

Later Tour: 9:15 AM to 11:00 AM
