The AMJV is one of many partners involved in the “Golden-winged Warbler Land Managers Workshop: Restoring Early Successional Habitat in the Southern Appalachians”. The two-day workshop sponsored by Audubon North Carolina and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation will detail guidelines for developing habitat for Golden-winged Warblers (GWWA) and other species associated with early successional forest. It takes place on September 10-11 at Roan Moutanin State Park.

The first day will consist of instructional talks and include most recent GWWA biology and status, best management practices, stewardship programs and tools available for private lands, and how to implement all components for efficient management. Day two will demonstrate management with local site visits.

Land managers must register by August 22, 2014. Register here, where you can also find out further information on lodging and meals, payment, and transportation options. You can also register by contacting Aimee Tomcho: atomcho@audubon.org or 828-419-0890.
