Walk: Forest for the Birds
May 12, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Walk/talk with Jeff Ritterson
Jeff is a field ornithologist at Mass Audubon, where his focus is on working landscapes and forest management, including the coordination of the Foresters for the Birds program. Originally from Delaware, Jeff attended graduate school at UMass Amherst, and remained in Massachusetts for the vibrant conservation community and magnificent forests.
Jeff will discuss the habitat needs of forest birds in Massachusetts, conservation concerns, and sustainable forest management techniques used to address those concerns. The forest surrounding Fitzgerald Lake will provide a mini case study to help illustrate what has or could be done to improve habitat conditions.
