Lauri Brewster, North Willamette Watershed District Regional Habitat Biologist at Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, will present a program intended for landowners who want to actively manage their property for wildlife habitat.

Her talk will include ways to improve habitat for wildlife that we all can use and also introduce us to the Wildlife Habitat Conservation and Management Program (WHCMP). Its goals include protecting good habitat that already exists, improving habitat diversity, controlling invasives, and helping prevent valuable habitat from being converted to other uses.

For WCSWA members, perhaps the most appealing part of the program is its emphasis on stewardship which many of us are already doing. It may not be the right fit for every woodland property, but for members interested in managing part or all of their property specifically for wildlife habitat, it’s certainly a topic worth learning more about.
