As the third-most forested state in the lower 48, Vermont plays a critical role in forest bird conservation. Every spring, Scarlet Tanagers, Wood Thrush, and Chestnut-sided Warblers are among the birds that return to the Green Mountain state to raise young. How can we help these birds find the habitat conditions they need to nest successfully? Learn about Audubon Vermont’s efforts to promote forest stewardship that meets the needs of birds and people from Steve Hagenbuch, Audubon's Senior Forest Program Manager. Steve discuses the types of forest conditions that support high bird diversity, while keeping in mind all of the other important values we hold for our forests.
