At 6 p.m. on May 19 at the Bridgton Municipal Complex on Irdale Street, Loon Echo Land Trust and cosponsors Casco Open Space Committee, Greater Lovell Land Trust, Hancock Land Company, Lakes Environmental Association and Raymond Conservation Commission, will host a forestry workshop for private landowners, foresters, town officials and land trust staff and members interested in integrating timber management and biodiversity.

Led by Robert Bryan, licensed forester and Maine Audubon forest ecologist, and Peter McKinley, ecologist and forest manager at Hancock Land Company, the workshop will review how landowners and foresters can improve or maintain wildlife habitat on their land while managing the land for recreation, timber or other personal goals.

The workshop is based on Maine Audubon’s new guide “Focus Species Forestry,” which shows how to manage forest lands for the full range of Maine’s wildlife while simultaneously providing other forest benefits such a wood, clean water, clean air and recreation.

Workshop participants will receive a summary of the guide’s

recommendations; copies of the guide will be available for purchase at the workshop.

For more information on the workshop or to RSVP, please call (207)
