Workshop Was Held August 3, 2019
Why are golden-winged and cerulean warblers critically threatened? What can be done about this? To discuss this, a workshop was held at Lehigh Gap Nature Center, 8844 Paint Mill Road, Slatington, PA 18080.
Sponsored by Pocono Northeast RC&D and funded by USDA National Resource Conservation Service, two speakers made excellent presentations about the concerns. Jeff Larkin, Professor of Biology, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, discussed the optimal ways of managing forest to support warblers in the face of seriously declining warbler populations in the Northeast. Carl Martin, Director of Property Stewardship for the Wildlands Conservancy in PA, talked about how landowners could help improve the local environment for the warblers.
The audience was very enthusiastic and participated, with many questions and concerns. Lehigh Gap Nature Center was a first class location for the workshop, situated on the banks of the Lehigh River in Slatington, PA.
