Forest Landowner Resources
Our Goals
Protecting and improving habitat for a full suite of forest birds.
What We’re Doing
Connecting landowners with the resources you need to create healthy and resilient woodlands.
When we speak to a landowner, one of the first questions we ask is - what are your goals for your forest?
One of the top answers is "enhancing wildlife habitat," which aligns perfectly with Audubon's goal of halting - and reversing - bird population declines. Eastern forest breeding birds have experienced a -27% population loss since 1970, as we have lost a significant amount of quality habitat due to forest fragmentation, interfering or invasive vegetation, deer overabundance, and climate stressors.
As a forest landowner, you can help! Audubon is committed to helping you create quality habitat that benefits a suite of forest birds - and suits your additional goals for your forest.
