The Chess Match

Season 3 | Episode 7 | August 31, 2022

Wildlife habitat is the primary goal for many forest landowners, and in particular forest bird habitat. Silviculture treatments have great potential to provide quality habitat for birds if we know what to look for. Join us on this episode of SilviCast as we take a walk in the woods with Mike Demchik, Professor of Silviculture at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, while we discuss how to recognize the bird habitat elements that are missing in a woods and better integrate those elements into our silvicultural treatments.
