Audubon Vermont is committed to promoting biodiversity in sugarbushes so the birds you love - Scarlet Tanagers, Wood Thrushes, and Black-Throated Blue Warblers, just to name a few - can continue to forage, find cover, and raise their young. The program builds on the national award-winning Foresters for the Birds project and is a partnership between Audubon Vermont biologists, the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks, & Recreation, and the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers Association. Please feel free to contact Audubon Conservation Biologist Steve Hagenbuch for more information.
