The Ohio Division of Natural Resources has partnered with the Ohio Bird Conservation Initiative (OBCI) and the Appalachian Mountains Joint Venture in developing a video series focused on private landowners who have managed their forests to improve avian habitat. The goal is to document the positive changes to bird communities following management activities. Production of the video series developed as a follow-up to the 2014 land manager workshops held in southeast Ohio on improving forest management for birds.
The series will include topics on creating young forest habitat, thinning and crop tree release, managing invasives, working with foresters and partner biologists, and more. The videos are expected to be released in the summer of 2016 and will be shared both in Ohio and throughout the Joint Venture region.
