Foresters For The Birds Program Protects Bird Habitats

Bird Feeder

"The veery singing and flitting through the understory of Vermont’s forests may have caught Nancy Patch’s ear or eye in the past, but these days when she sees the bird she thinks about how the surrounding habitat is meeting its needs. Patch, a forester with the Vermont Forests, Parks & Recreation Department, credits a novel program called Foresters for the Birds with changing her perspective. The three-year-old effort combines Audubon Vermont’s bird expertise and land managers’ know-how to conserve forests that are important to avian species."
