Managing Forests for Birds
Great Mountain Forest in partnership with Audubon Connecticut, this course will explore how different bird species rely on a range of forest conditions – from young regenerating stands to mature woodlands with standing dead trees and diverse canopy layers. We’ll examine the benefits of maintaining soft forest edges, promoting diverse tree species, and creating vertical structure to enhance habitat quality. The course includes practical guidance on assessing, creating, and maintaining habitat for bird communities within your forest. Those interested in making informed decisions about managing a forest (actively or passively). This includes private landowners, land trusts and other nonprofits, rural municipalities, and the stewards of these forests.
