This winter, NH Audubon is partnering with forestry & wildlife professionals to conduct a timber harvest at the Willard Pond Sanctuary in Antrim to enhance habitat diversity for birds and other wildlife as well as the forest’s resilience to climate change.
New Hampshire Audubon and UNH Extension will hold a walking tour of the active timber harvest at Willard Pond Wildlife Sanctuary in Antrim on January 25th from 9 to 11:30 am.
On this tour, participants can learn about this project and see timber harvesting equipment in action. During our walk we will discuss why this timber harvest is happening, the process used to plan and implement the timber harvest, and how birds and other wildlife are expected to respond.
This walk is ideal for anyone interested in learning more about any aspect of timber harvesting and it will be particularly helpful for folks interested in learning how timber harvesting can be used to benefit a variety of bird species. This is an active timber harvest so the route for the tour will be on uneven ground and will be hilly and slippery in some areas.
This tour will be led by Jeremy Turner (Meadowsend Consulting Co.), Matt Tarr (State Wildlife Habitat Specialist, UNH Cooperative Extension), Mike Gagnon (Hillsborough Co. Extension Forester), Marc Nutter (NH Audubon Conservation Program Director).
