Managing Forests for the Birds at the Westford Town Lands with Ethan Tapper

Saturday, February 11, 2023 – 1:00 to 3:00pm

How can responsible forest management help create vibrant habitat for Vermont's birds? Join Ethan Tapper, the Chittenden County Forester, and Audubon Vermont for a free, public walk of a forest management project at the Westford Town Lands. We'll walk an area of the WTL which is currently being managed and talk about forests, forest management, birds, and forest ecology.

Audubon Vermont's Foresters for the Birds program, a partner of Vermont's Department of Forest, Parks and Recreation since the program's establishment in 2008, is an innovative project that works to keep forests as forests and common birds common by advancing principles and on-the-ground projects that integrate the practices of timber and songbird habitat management across the state of Vermont.

To join the walk of the MSTF, meet at 1:00 PM at the Westford School on Brookside Road in Westford, ~ 1 mile south of the intersection with VT-128. Be dressed for the weather and ready to walk on slippery and uneven surfaces.
