Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warbler Habitat in Deciduous Forests of the Great Lakes
This supplement for Deciduous Forests accompanies Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warbler Habitats in the Great
Lakes Region, which includes general information that applies to all habitat types in this area. Users should refer to both documents
to develop a comprehensive management strategy for Golden-winged Warbler. The following are guidelines and not absolute
rules for the creation of breeding habitat, thus prescriptions that fall outside the numerical ranges presented can provide habitat,
too. Consult a Golden-winged Warbler or young forest habitat expert for assistance in tailoring a management plan to your property,
and, if available, follow forest management guidelines for your state or province.
Historically, young forest in this region was generated by natural disturbances such as wind, ice, insect outbreaks, flooding, beaver
activity, and fire. Today, much habitat is created through commercial management of deciduous forests, which is the focus of this
habitat guide. Deciduous forest management opportunities exist throughout the Great Lakes on public, private, and tribal lands.
