Wildlife Field Day: Forestry for the Birds

Join us at the Hopkins Demonstration Forest for a discussion and forest tour featuring the Forest Stewards Guild's Forestry for the Birds Western Oregon Guide.

This Guide was developed to assist woodland caretakers including landowners, loggers, foresters, natural resource managers, or practitioners, to identify, assess, and support a healthy forest with birds in mind. We will review the guide while walking through various habitats and forest stages. Learn more about the focal birds within the Guide, bird habitat preferences, identifying understory plants, and forest structure and variability that make appealing habitat for different bird species.

We will hop on the Hopkins bus to explore the forest. There will be periods of walking on uneven trails and terrain, but it is not expected to be strenuous. For accommodation requests, please contact Jean at [email protected] or 503-655-8631.

We look forward to meeting you, hearing about your management goals and efforts, wildlife, and bird observations! Please bring your stories, curiosity, and binoculars if you have them. We will have coffee and breakfast snacks for the early birds!
