Tree Care for Birds and Other Wildlife

As nesting season for many wildlife species begins in Southern California, there is no time like the present to learn about minimizing impacts to wildlife during tree care!

While many tree care workers and land managers wish to act responsibly around wildlife, little information has been available about how work can best be accomplished with minimal or no negative impact to wildlife. In addition, the existence of Federal and California wildlife regulations are not widely known within the tree care industry, thereby putting uninformed workers at risk of significant fines and public criticism. The Tree Care for Birds working group has brought together 80+ urban forestry and wildlife professionals to develop Best Management Practices (BMPs), training, and education programs, to enhance habitat and protect wildlife through tree care practices.  Learn more about the project at treecareforbirds.com.

Corey Bassett, West Coast Arborists, and Magen Shaw, Davey Resource Group, both members of the Tree Care for Birds working group, will be presenting the group’s work at the San Diego Regional Forest Council meeting in April.
