Webinar – Using landscape-scale passive acoustic monitoring to inform forest management across California’s Sierra Nevada

Join us and CalFire on July 26 at 3:00pm for a webinar from CALFIRE’s Forest Health Research Grant Program.

Kristin Brunk from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology will present on using bioacoustics to monitor bird habitat in Sierra Nevada forest treatments.

Wildfire is expected to become more frequent, bigger, and hotter in the future, and managers in the western dry forests of North America face increasingly critical and time-sensitive tradeoffs when planning forest restoration activities. In this webinar, I will share some of our ongoing FHRP-funded work using passive acoustic monitoring across ~ 22,000 km2 of California’s Sierra Nevada to map avian distributions, understand habitat associations at broad spatial scales, and ultimately provide managers with the information they need to balance the short-term and long-term tradeoffs of forest restoration in the context of changing climate and disturbance regimes. This is a public webinar.
