Western Oregon Urban Forests for the Birds
Join us for Western Oregon Urban Forests for the Birds, a half-day workshop for woodland caretakers including landowners, HOA and condo/apartment communities, park managers, foresters, natural resource managers, or anyone interested in natural resource conservation. Put on by the Forest Stewards Guild, an expert birder from Bird Alliance of Oregon and the West Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District’s forest conservationist will join for the day to help demonstrate the Guide and identify birds and habitat preferences.
This Guide was developed to assist woodland caretakers with identifying, assessing, and supporting a healthy forest with birds in mind. We will review the Guide while walking through the Sanctuary learning more about the focal birds within the Guide and bird habitat preferences. We will identify trees and plants, learn more about the forest types of Western Oregon, and the forest structure and variability that make appealing habitat for different bird species. In addition, in fitting with the location of this workshop, we will be applying the Guide to urban forests.
You do not need to be an expert birder for this outing or a forest landowner. Just bring your curiosity, willingness to share, and if you have them, binoculars. We will have coffee and cake for the early bird, so we hope to see you bright and early in May!
