Forestry for Maine Birds Workshop – Jefferson, ME

This field workshop is designed for foresters, landowners, and loggers interested in learning how to manage forestlands “with birds and other wildlife in mind.” Participants will learn to recognize different forest types and habitat features that various birds need, learn to identify some of 20 priority bird species by sight and sound, practice conducting “handy habitat assessments,” learn about the best silvicultural treatments to use to enhance habitat for fish, birds, and other wildlife, and discuss the global importance of the Maine woods for migratory birds.
