Thinning Forests to Save the Birds

This video was just release on You Tube.  We get an early look at the NRCS Joint Chiefs projects featuring two Pennsylvania Forest Landowners.......Enjoy. 

Meet John Hoover, Mike and Laura Jackson, Pennsylvania landowners who are using targeted cuts to manage for diverse forests on their properties. Healthy forests, just like healthy human populations, are sustained by a diversity of ages. Each group has a role to play in maintaining the whole community over the long term.

But forests are becoming homogenous especially in the East, and diverse forests are on the decline. The loss of diverse forests negatively impacts on many different wildlife species, including the golden-winged warbler and cerulean warbler.
