ITHACA, N,Y. Over 70 percent of all
forestland in the northeastern U.S. is privately
owned.
The land use and management decisions
made by forest landowners will help deter
mine whether the region will enjoy healthy,
sustainable wildlife populations.
Enhancing Wildlife Habitats: A Practical
Guide' for Forest Landowners. NRAES-64, is
a comprehensive guide designed specifically
for private, non-industrial forest owners. In a
straightforward style, it outlines strategies for
developing a well-focused plan to encourage
and manage wildlife on woodlots. Its recom
mendations apply to virtually any size forest,
from one acre to several thousand.
The initial sections of the book are
designed to give readers a clear understanding
of the complex plant and animal interactions
they may encounter on their woodlots.
Featured in these sections are topics such as
forest growth, the forest community, wildlife
populations, and the basic components of
good habitats. Later sections discuss encour
aging the growth of specific animal popula
tions. Descriptions, ranges, life histories, and
habitat requirements of many wildlife species
are included.
The book includes chapters on basic forest
wildlife ecology, understanding wildlife habi
tats, American woodcock and ruffed grouse,
white-tailed deer and eastern wild turkey,
other upland forest wildlife species, and wet
land wildlife, as well as a appendix, glossary,
and references.
Review questions involving key themes are
also included at the end of each chapter. The
book is 172 pages long with 11 tables and over
100 figures, many of which are black-and
white photographs.
Of particular interest are suggested field
exercises found at the end of each chapter.
These exercises are designed to be both fun
and productive and, if carried out, should put
forest owners well on their way to a practical
habitat management plan.
The book NRAES-64, was written by Scott
S. Hobson, chief biologist at Keyes Associ
ates and Environmental Scientific; John S.
Barclay, associate professor of wildlife man
agement and extension wildlife specialist at
the University of Connecticut: and Stephen H.
Broderick, extension forester at the Universi
ty of Connecticut.
