View this webinar to learn about Golden-winged Warbler ecology, why populations are declining, and habitat requirements and best management practices that result in successful breeding.
The Golden-winged Warbler is a neo-tropical migrant that breeds in early successional habitats of North America. This imperiled songbird has experienced a 90%+ population decline in the Appalachian region over the past 50 years. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is currently considering listing this species under the Endangered Species Act. The recent completion of a study in portions of Pennsylvania and Maryland provided the foundation of a Golden-winged Warbler Forestland Best Management Practice (BMP) publication. View this webinar to learn about these BMP’s and to consider the potential for implementing them through Farm Bill programs on private lands.
This webinar is sponsored by the USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center.
