PRESENTER: Michael Paling, American Bird Conservancy
“Forestry for Michigan Birds” is an initiative created by American Birds Conservancy and many partners, which was adapted from Audubon Vermont’s Foresters for the Birds. The goal is to provide information and educational opportunities about how we can use forest management to benefit forest-dwelling birds. Active forest management is one of the largest ways that humans can impact wildlife habitat, so it’s important to understand how it can benefit wildlife. Michael Paling has been a forester with American Bird Conservancy since 2019. His duties include working with private and public forest landowners to improve habitat for at-risk bird species, such as the Golden-winged warbler and the Kirtland’s Warbler. This includes coordinating the Forestry for Michigan Birds program to provide information about how forest management can improve habitat for bird species.
