Early Successional Wildlife Habitat
This webinar will inform landowners, managers and consultants of the advantages and needs of Early Successional Habitat (ESH) within the landscape – there are two distinct types: the old field scrub /shrub and that created through timber management. We’ll cover a brief history of how we got to where we are today with the condition of our forest and the low percentage of ESH within the landscape. With a lack of quality ESH due to urban sprawl and lack of forest management, there is a decline of songbirds as well as ruffed grouse and American woodcock. ESH benefits a wide range of native flora and fauna from a bottom up approach. Presented by Linda Ordiway, Biologist, The Ruffed Grouse Society
