[PCA] 5-part WEBINAR SERIES: Foundations of Forest Wildlife Habitat Management -- Habitat through Disturbance and Silviculture BEGINS TOMMORROW, July 14, 1-2pm ET! FREE - Register now!

[De Angelis, Patricia]

Guest Lecturer: Dr. Brenda McComb, Dean Emerita, Oregon State University.

Series Description
The Forest Ecology Working Group and NCTC are pleased to offer a 5-part focused lecture series to introduce fundamental principles of forest habitat management.

**Registration is handled individually for each lecture, but we suggest participation in all five one hour lectures, as they are presented as a sequential course of study.**

July 14 - Habitat Selection by Forest-Associated Species: Abiotic factors
Lecture series overview and introduction to habitat, habitat selection, and abiotic elements influencing forests and habitat for selected species.

Series Objectives
1.Introduce concepts & theory and of wildlife habitat selection and application offorest management to provide habitat for selected species or conservation ofbiological diversity.
2.Help participants with forestry, wildlife, environmental sciences, fisheries andrelated backgrounds to find a common ground when approaching management offorests for multiple values.
3.Introduce approaches of managing forests to achieve desired conditions forselected species or conservation of biological diversity.

The Forest Ecology and Management Webinar Series is sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Forest Ecology Working Group (FEWG). The FEWG is a forest ecology based community of practice for individuals to share forest ecosystem expertise and information. For more information contact: Jeff_Horan at fws.gov
