*Description*

On Thursday, May 17, we will hear from Sally Stockwell, Director of Conservation with Maine Audubon, via Zoom for an introduction to Forestry for Maine Birds (FFMB).

On Thursday, May 25, the Zoom training will be followed by a field-based workshop with a short introductory indoor meeting at the Caribou Bog Outdoor Center, on Taylor Road in Orono followed by a field trip in the Newman Hill Property of the Orono Land Trust. We will learn how to and practice doing habitat assessments, learn about the history of management at Newman Hill, explore current management using the Focus Species Forestry (FSF) approach, and discuss ways to incorporate both FFMB and FSF into your management plans.

There is no fee for the workshop, but please *register for the field-based workshop [ [link removed] ]* so we know how many people will be coming, and how many lunches to order. Continuing education credits will be available.

The field training will be led by Sally Stockwell, Director of Conservation, Maine Audubon; Rob Bryan, forester and author of Focus Species Forestry; and Joe Roy, Private Lands Biologist, MDIFW.
