Recap of SAF Audubon Training

Written by Jeff Dubis 

 The group of   nearly 30   participants visited several different silvicultural treatments on the Huntington Forest   where participants had the opportunity to apply what they learned in the morning   and to   discuss   how   different silvicultural treatments   can favor different songbird species.   It was also an opportunity for professionals to discuss the   ever-present   beech bark disease and its impact on successful regeneration   of Adirondack forests. Participants who completed the   one-day   training have the option to   obtain Audubon Endorsement. To do so, they must   provide  two examples of new or revised management plans that integrate bird   friendly   habitat management.
