Wednesday, March 29th 7:00-8:00 pm: Birds & Forests – Embracing the Opportunities & Challenges of Conservation. As New York forest landowners, we know the importance of being good stewards of the Empire State’s 19 million acres of forests. From the northern reaches of the Adirondacks to the Rensselaer Highlands to the Allegheny Plateau, New York’s forests provide us with so many benefits and commonalities – clean air, open space, recreation, water, and birds. With 700,000 landowners managing three quarters of our forest cover, private lands play a critical role in our conservation approaches. Climate and nature are interconnected challenges and our forests are currently facing unprecedented challenges. How can we leverage partnerships and approach habitat, forest resiliency, carbon, and traditional forest ecosystem services in a holistic manner?  Presented by Todd Waldron of the Ruffed Grouse Society and American Woodcock Society.

 

Wednesday, April 5th 7:00-8:00 pm: Wild Turkey natural history, habitat management, and incentive programs: This presentation will cover the natural history of the wild turkey, habitat enhancements that for wild turkeys and associated species as well as landowner opportunities through the Natural Resources Conservations Service (USDA NRCS).  Presented by Kaylee Resha Szymanski of the National Wild Turkey Federation.

 

Save the date for a birding walk at Cornell’s Arnot Forest on the morning Saturday, May 20th led by forester Suzanne Treyger of Audubon NY to see and learn more about the concepts discussed during the webinars.  Details will be available soon at: www.cornellforestconnect.ning.com
