Event Description
Woodlot owners are drawn to wildlife, wildlife they can see and knowing they are providing useful habitat. They say ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, and that certainly is the case when it comes to wildlife habitat. Animals, unlike people, tend to prefer ‘messy’ surroundings that provide good places to hide and abundant food items. Woodland owners and forest managers can play active roles in assuring woodland have a variety of habitats to support a diversity of wildlife species. Learn about the steps you can take to create better wildlife habitat and increase biodiversity, and how looking at your woodland as part of the surrounding landscape can help you make important management decisions.

Instructions:
- Read all these instructions.
- You need a personal registration ID to join this month’s webinar. There is unlimited space for participants, the ID simply provides you the necessary access code. Obtain your registration ID via: https://cornell.webex.com/cornell/onstage/g.php?d=318319295&t=a If prompted for a password, use forestconnect
- On the webpage where the above link takes you, look for the option to “register” to receive your “registration id” number. Note this page also includes the option to download resources related to this webinar (if available).
- Wait for the email that contains your personal “registration id” number (a couple minutes at most usually).
- Pasted below is an example of the email you will receive after following the preceding steps.
- As illustrated in my example below, join the webinar via the “click here” button to open into your default web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Firefox). The “click here” button should open into the webinar, or display a page indicating the webinar is not active. If the webinar is not active, that means the host isn’t connected and you will need to wait until the host connects. If the page opens into a rather generic “Cisco WebEx” page then your browser may not be compatible with WebEx and you should copy and paste the full link (see example below, it follows “click here”) into an alternate web browser. Using an alternate web browser usually solves most connection problems.
- Test the sound capacity of your computer by accessing a website with sound (e.g., video clip on a news website, Youtube, etc.).
- As you enter the webinar, you may be asked to test your media player. If so, you will need to complete that step.
- As you enter the webinar, you will be given the option to download software; you can bypass that step and enter the webinar directly. I’m not aware of any problems that have arisen from downloading the software (which streamlines subsequent access, but you should make this decision for yourself.
