Event Description

Join the Yates County Master Forest Owners (MFOs) for our 2019 workshop to learn more about how you can enhance wildlife habitat in your woodlot by adding projects and practices to your current woodlot activities. This workshop will provide you with information about projects and practices that you can implement on your property, as well as education about the impacts invasive species have on the forest ecosystem and wildlife habitat, and the importance and benefits of choosing native species for your improvement projects.

Mike Zagata, Ph. D in Wildlife Ecology and Director of Organization Development for New York Forest Owner Association (NYFOA) will share different practices and projects that you can add to your woodlot activities to enhance wildlife habitat. Invasive Species Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator, Patty Wakefield-Brown, from Finger Lakes Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (FL-PRISM) will discuss the impacts of plant and animal invasive species on the native ecosystem and wildlife habitat. Jim Engle, owner of White Oak Nursery, will explain the importance and benefits of selecting native tree and shrub species in your woodlot and habitat improvement projects. Seneca County CCE Agricultural Extension Educator, Judy Wright, will provide a presentation focused on tick habitat, their biology and control.

Attendance is free, but please let us know you are coming so we can plan accordingly.
