LIVERMORE — On Saturday, August 24, from 9:00 am – 12:30 pm, American Forest Management, a land management and forestry consulting firm, will be co-sponsoring a workshop called the Timber Harvest Tour & Forestry for Maine Birds Program, alongside Maine Audubon and the Maine Forest Service. The workshop, which is open to the public for free admission, is taking place at the Washburn Norlands Living History Center in Livermore. Participants will learn about forest bird habitat and how logging can help create specific habitat elements. The woods tour will show how the harvest is incorporating elements of the Forestry for Maine Birds Program, allowing them to learn simple, handy ways to assess their own bird species on the land.

Participants will learn about forest bird habitat and how logging can help create specific habitat elements. The woods tour will show how the harvest is incorporating elements of the Forestry for Maine Birds Program.  Participants will learn a simple “handy” way to assess their woods, to learn what birds may already be there. Meet at 9am in the parking lot behind the white church at Norlands.
