We welcome forest landowners, natural resources professionals, and others to join us for a virtual workshop in wildlife forestry practices in bottomland hardwood forests of the Southeast. We’ll cover topics such as bottomland hardwood management, hydrology and water issues, timber stand improvement, and how to manage your forestland to improve wildlife habitat.
Bottomland hardwood forests are critically important to biodiversity, wildlife, carbon storage, recreation, and clean water in the southeastern United States. Unfortunately, bottomland hardwood forests are threatened by several factors. Wildlife forestry management practices can benefit these ecosystems and the communities that depend upon them.
Join us in learning from two experts on how to manage bottomland hardwood forests of the Southeast using wildlife forestry practices!
