Practical Applications of Wildlife Management on Working Forests
December 2, 2009 Boulevard Grill, Eugene, OR
Come join us for a day in Eugene, Oregon where we will explore tough management issues facing wildlife biologists and foresters today. How do you address invasive species on your land? Why is wildlife important? How do economics play into my management decisions? What do I do about the flock of songbirds in my forest? How do I manage different user groups who want to use my land? This workshop is designed to address a variety of important topics and provide biologist and foresters with practical tools that can be implemented on various landscapes. In addition to the general session, participants can attend an interactive Species Fair. Participants will have an opportunity to interact with wildlife experts and discuss management issues and recommendations for elk, deer, song birds, amphibians, rare plants and many more species. The Fair will facilitate networking between biologists, foresters, students, and state and federal resource agencies.

TWS-OR will be hosting two pre-conference workshops at the 2010 Annual Meeting in Bend
Oak Woodland Restoration and Wildlife Conservation
February 10, 2010 at the Riverhouse in Bend, Oregon
Workshop organizers: Dave Ross, Steve Zack, and Bruce Campbell
We are organizing and in the process of inviting speakers for our workshop “Oak Woodland Restoration and Wildlife Conservation” in association with the Oregon Wildlife Society. This timely workshop will be centered on three inter-related themes: identifying the key wildlife species associated with Oregon’s oak woodland habitats and their habitat requirements, what is being done to restore oak woodland habitat across Oregon and what are the key elements and processes needed to transform oak trees into a functioning oak woodland habitat, and finally, what are the funding mechanisms available from private, state and federal sources to advance our scientific understanding and our management needs identified from the workshop. There will be a focus on identifying what we don't know regarding wildlife and restoring oak woodland communities, and what the difference might be between restoring a functioning oak woodland and the maximizing wildlife management benefits in oak woodlands. After each set of speakers on the above topics, there will be an interactive discussion among all participants.
We will be posting registration information soon on this web site and sending out detailed announcements to relevant groups and agencies. We anticipate that there will be considerable interest in this workshop and that space will be limited. If you would like further information now, please contact either Dave Ross ( \n
