Forestry for the Birds Video & Virtual Tour, A Must-See Resource!

We’re excited to share a fantastic new resource: Forestry for the Birds Video and Virtual Tour! This engaging video is just one of many tools being developed as part of the upcoming Forestry for the Birds – Central Hardwoods online course. The course will feature a variety of resources, including a practical Pocket Guide, all designed to help foresters and private landowners enhance their forests for birds.

Forestry for the Birds is a collection of resources created by the Indiana Chapter of The Nature Conservancy. These tools provide essential information for managing forests in ways that benefit bird populations and biodiversity.
