Forestry for Minnesota Birds Field Day

August 12, 2026 from 9:00am to 4:00pm

The FMNB Field Day is a one-day in-person field-based workshop for natural resource professionals to explore sites with non-traditional applied forest management strategies and discuss how they support forest bird and wildlife communities, while promoting forest health and ecosystem resilience. Participants will visit a series of actively managed forest sites where silvicultural treatments were designed to emulate natural disturbance and create a diversity of forest conditions and habitat structures. The group will also explore alternative management options and discuss the costs, benefits, and tradeoffs associated with each approach. The field day will also provide opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, discussion, and the sharing of practical strategies that participants can use to inform their own management decisions.
