SUMMARY:Foresters for the Birds Training
DESCRIPTION:Postponed \nPlease stay tuned\, as this event will be rescheduled for a later date when it is safe to gather. \nOriginal agenda and flyer to download \nWhat? Foresters for the Birds is a Massachusetts DCR program providing cost‐share assistance to landowners to hire a qualified consulting forester to conduct a Bird Habitat Assessment on their land. The assessment will provide information about the existing or potential habitat for target bird species and silvicultural recommendations for enhancing habitat through forest management. To become certified to provide this service to landowners\, consulting foresters must attend this training and then conduct two assessments under the review of Mass Audubon and DCR. \nForesters will also become qualified to develop forest management plans with bird habitat assessments for landowners receiving USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service funding through the Southern New England Heritage Forest RCPP in south‐central Massachusetts. \nWho? The training is intended for those who have not yet attended a Foresters for the Birds training\, those who would like extra support\, and those who are simply interested or have questions. \nLogistics: This training will include indoor presentations and a site visit to the neighboring Town of Pelham’s Buffam Brook Community Forest (10 miles away) to view different bird habitats. \nThis event has been approved for 4.0 MA Forester License CFE credits. \nMore info at: Christopher Riely at christopher@sweetbirchconsulting.com or (401) 225-6135.

SUMMARY:Wildlife Habitat Management at the Catamount Community Forest\, Vermont
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, May 18\n7:00 – 8:30 p.m. ET \nJoin the Chittenden County Forester\, the US Fish and Wildlife Service\, Audubon Vermont\, the Vermont Dept. of Fish and Wildlife and the Catamount Community Forest Committee for a presentation on wildlife habitat management at the Catamount Community Forest in Williston. \nThe Catamount Community Forest (CCF) is a 393-acre conserved property owned by the Town of Williston. A Forest Management Plan was drafted for the CCF in early 2020 by the Chittenden County Forester which details forest management work scheduled to occur over the next 10 years. Among the activities planned at the CCF are some exciting wildlife habitat management activities to create unique wildlife habitat for declining wildlife and bird species\, specifically encouraging shrubland and young forest habitat. This management will occur in partnership with Audubon Vermont\, the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program of the US Fish and Wildlife Service and Vermont Fish and Wildlife. \nJoin us to learn more about supporting healthy bird and wildlife habitat in Vermont and the work planned at the CCF. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nDial in: 1-646-558-8656\nMeeting ID: 868 8040 7884
