This winter, NH Audubon is partnering with forestry & wildlife professionals to conduct a timber harvest at the Willard Pond Sanctuary to enhance habitat diversity for birds and other wildlife as well as the forest’s resilience to climate change. Join us for a walking tour of the active timber harvest to learn about this project and see timber harvesting equipment in action. This walk is ideal for anyone interested in learning more about any aspect of timber harvesting and it will be particularly helpful for folks interested in learning how timber harvesting can be used to benefit a variety of bird species.
