Golden-winged Warbler Non-breeding Season Conservation Plan
-
The Golden-winged Warbler Non-breeding Season Conservation Plan (Chapter 4 of the Goldenwinged
Warbler Conservation Plan) describes the non-breeding ecology of the Golden-winged
Warbler and proposes concrete actions to maintain habitat throughout its stationary nonbreeding
range (hereafter winter range). The plan is intended for use by conservation
practitioners, land managers, and governmental agencies both in North America and Latin
America. This plan provides guidance on where conservation investment in Latin America will
have the greatest impact on Golden-winged Warbler habitat and recommends conservation
actions to address the specific threats to habitat retention in the winter range. This plan is also
intended for use at the country level for all Latin American countries within the Golden-winged
Warbler winter range. For each country, this plan prioritizes areas where conservation action
should begin immediately, defines five-year conservation goals, and proposes a conservation
strategy to meet those goals by the year 2020.

Golden-winged Warbler Status Review and Conservation Plan
-
The Golden-winged Warbler Status Review was initiated over a decade ago when David Buehler, John Confer, and Ron Canterbury were funded by the US Fish & Wildlife Service to elaborate on what was originally a status assessment begun by Chuck Hunter in 1999. Over time, that original project received input from others and underwent numerous stalls, revisions, and reviews. The continuous stream of new information that so rapidly outpaced the writing of the document is actually a tribute to the tremendous dedication and energy of the Golden-winged Warbler Working Group and its partners. In this version of the Status Review, survey and trend estimates have been updated to include 2009 BBS trend information. Genetic data were updated to include birds sampled during the 2010 breeding season. We are pleased finally to release the Status Review, at the same time acknowledging that new research and conservation action will just as quickly outdate much of the information it summarizes. We prefer to think of this document as a Status Transition to a more hopeful future.

Managing for Healthy, Diverse Forests
-
How to manage for both wildlife habitat and timber value in Eastern forests by conducting responsible forest harvests that take the longer-term view instead of quick cash-outs. Up to 80% of the forests in Eastern States have experienced repeated "high-grade" or "diameter-limit" harvests that remove only the most valuable trees during each harvest, diminishing forest economics in the region and depleting wildlife.

Oak Regeneration
-
Competing species in the white oak range are shading out young white oaks thus preventing regeneration, resulting in a non-sustainable demographic dominated by older trees. Dr. Jeff Larkin is a professor of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at IUP, as well as the Forest Bird Habitat Coordinator for the American Bird Conservancy. He says: it's just as important for landowners and forest managers to 'look down' as it is to 'look up' when it comes to oak forest management and stewardship. These photos, taken by Dr. Larkin, demonstrate white oak regeneration within the forest understory.
