Cornell Extension will put on 2 one-hour Improving Bird Habitat Through Forestry webinars on February 15th at noon and 7 p.m.
The application of sustainable forest management can greatly improve forest bird habitat, while achieving timber management objectives and improving the ability of the forest to provide ecosystem services. Audubon New York created Forest Management for New York Birds: A Forester’s Guide as a resource for foresters and other land managers to integrate important bird habitat components into forest management planning.
These webinars, presented by Suzanne Treyger from Audubon New York, will give an overview of Audubon’s new resource, which provides guidance on how to manage forested landscapes to provide a balance of forest age classes to meet the habitat needs of a suite of forest birds, as well as stand-level features that increase structural complexity and enhance habitat.
