SUMMARY:Maine Climate Resilient Forest Management Workshops – Eastern
DESCRIPTION:Register (by April 19\, 2024) \n(Note: We ask each team to bring a real-world project to set context for discussions and activities. This workshop is designed to help you customize a site-specific climate adaptation plan that complements existing management and conservation efforts. There are worksheets to submit with registration. Please see more instructions at the “Full workshop information” link below.) \nMay 1 – 2\, 2024\nEastern Maine workshop\nViles Arboretum\, 153 Hospital St.\, Augusta\, ME \nDraft workshop agenda \nFull workshop information \nSummary: As our climate shifts\, land trusts and conservation organizations stewarding Maine forests are focusing on ways to successfully respond to those changes. To help inform these efforts\, the Forest Stewards Guild along with NIACS and the USDA Northern Forests Climate Hub are co-hosting two workshops for land trusts and conservation professionals in Maine. During the two-day workshops\, teams of participants will use the Adaptation Workbook to incorporate climate change considerations into their stewardship planning and identify actions for adaptation in their own real-world forest management/stewardship projects. Workshops will also explore the intersection of climate change adaptation and Tribal needs in Maine forests and ways land trusts and conservation landowners can support the Tribes of Maine.

SUMMARY:Bird Communities of the San Juan Mountains of Colorado: A Citizen Science Project
DESCRIPTION:Bluebird on a branch has caught an insect dinner \nRegister \nTuesday\, May 7\, 2024\n12:00 – 1:00 p.m. MT/1:00 – 2:00 p.m. CT \nThis webinar is one in a two-part series. See the full event flyer for details. \nOver the past 5 years\, community volunteers from the Weminuche Audubon Society have conducted a study of bird communities in Ponderosa Pine-dominated forested sites that received wildland fuels reduction treatments. This webinar from the Forest Stewards Guild dives into the effects of these treatments\, specifically prescribed fire or shrub-layer thinning\, on the composition of bird communities in the southern Rocky Mountains\, showing that tree canopy and shrub-layer composition and structure have important influences on the number of bird species present and the predominate feeding and nesting behaviors of the avian community.

SUMMARY:Bird Population Trends and Climate Effects in Southwestern National Parks - webinar
DESCRIPTION:Rainbow over Southwestern National Forest mountain range. \nFull event title: Bird Population Trends and Climate Effects on Breeding-Season Densities Across an Elevational Habitat Gradient in Southwestern National Parks \nRegister \nTuesday\, May 14\, 2024\n11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. PT / 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. MT / 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. CT \nThis webinar is part of a 2-session series. Full details are in this flyer for download. \nClimate change is considered a major driver of recent avian population declines\, particularly in the drought-stricken southwestern United States. Predicting how bird populations will respond requires understanding the climatic drivers influencing population density across the region’s diverse habitats. In this webinar from the Forest Stewards Guild\, Harrison Jones of The Institute for Bird Populations discusses his research modeling breeding-season densities of 50 bird species in relation to spring and summer drought and the timing of North American monsoon rainfall.
