Necxikopical Mic^ants in a Managed Forest Landscape 



The Eastern United 

 Staies contains more 

 than 350 miUion acres 

 of timberland, and 86 

 percent is privately 

 held. Of this percent- 

 age, the forest prod- 

 ucts industry owns 16 

 percent, nearly twice 

 as much land as the 

 federal government 

 holds in the East. Con- 

 sequently, it is essen- 

 tial to manage private 

 forest lands for the 

 consei^'ation of Neo- 

 tropical migratory 

 birds. To bring to- 

 gether the forest products industry and 

 the conservation community, the 

 Manomet Bird Observatory chose col- 

 laboration rather than confrontation and 

 has formed partnerships with Champion 

 International Corporation, Scott Timber 

 Company, and Bowater, Inc., to under- 

 stand how management decisions on 

 private lands affect wildlife. 



Dr. John Hagan, Manomet's senior 

 scientist, and his colleagues have begun 



research on these 

 companies' holdings 

 in Maine aimed at 

 predicting bird popu- 

 lation changes result- 

 ing from different 

 forest management 

 scenarios. They are 

 tackling such signifi- 

 cant questions as 

 whether or not a 

 single, large clear-cut 

 area has less impact 

 on bird populations 

 than do several cut 

 sites of an equal total 

 size. Data from this 

 research will be used 

 to propose land management strategies 

 thai the timber industry can implement to 

 manage its properties to benefit both 

 birds and forests. 



Funds for this project came from the 

 National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, 

 the Jessie B. Cox Charitable Trust. The 

 John Merck Fund, the National Council 

 for Air and Stream Improvement, and 

 members of the Manomet Bird Observa- 

 tory.
