Forestry Trainings

Forestry for the Birds

Audubon North Carolina's Foresters for the Birds workshops bring foresters, landowners, and natural resources professionals together for training in bird-friendly forestry techniques. 

For more information about this and other Working Lands programs, contact Aimee Tomcho at atomcho@audubon.org.

Audubon North Carolina is pleased to announce our third Foresters for the Birds workshop!

While we’ve focused on upland hardwood management at workshops during the last two years in both the mountains and Piedmont, we’re excited to focus on Bird-friendly Bottomland Hardwood management options this time.

We are going to explore both red and black water systems and visit active management operations in our Forest Landbird Legacy Program Coastal Plain focal area. This field-oriented workshop will be based in and around Bladen County but concepts will be broadly applicable. We have partnered with the Forests Stewards Guild who will bring new forest evaluation concepts to the discussion.

Register here!
