Forestry for Maine Birds workshop at Hidden Valley Nature Center

Tue, 04/19/2022 - 10:45am

Sunday, June 26, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., all are invited to join Sally Stockwell of Maine Audubon and Logan Johnson from the Forest Stewards Guild to learn how to manage forestlands to enhance habitat for birds and other wildlife. The group will discuss the importance of Maine forestlands for breeding birds, brook trout, and other wildlife; practice completing some simple bird habitat assessments; and look at several harvesting strategies used at Hidden Valley that demonstrate what anyone can do in their own woodland or on land trust properties and community forests to enhance habitat.

Attendees should wear good walking shoes and bring water, a snack, a raincoat and their curiosity! This is a free event, but registration is required and capacity is limited to the first 25 registrants. To learn more and sign up, go to https://www.midcoastconservancy.org/events-list/ffmb2022.
