Forestry for Minnesota Birds Field Day

This field day is an in person, field based workshop for natural resource professionals to explore applied forest management strategies that support forest bird conservation within the Chippewa National Forest and surrounding landscapes. The field day will highlight managed sites that employ silvicultural techniques designed to create and maintain spatial complexity and heterogeneity within a range of forest cover types and age classes. The intent is to showcase management prescriptions that enhance habitat quality for forest birds while also supporting broader forest resource needs, including long-term resilience to disturbance and climate stressors, preservation of biodiversity, and the promotion of overall forest health.
