SUMMARY:June Woods Walk
DESCRIPTION:Wilson Woods Walk Saturday\, June 21\, 2025 LOCATION: 4384 Brainard Rd Kennedy NY (bounded by US 62 and Brainard Rd)\, Chautauqua County GPS: 42deg;11’40” N;79deg;05’49” W REGISTRATION: 9:00 – 9:30 AM This will be an opportunity to participate in a “very variable woods walk” in the words of long-time owner and host\, Dennis Wilson\, a retired professional forester (33 years NYSDEC). You’ll see a 65 acre managed (25 years) property featuring a 2 acre old growth forest\, primarily hemlock but also white pine (over 300 years old) and hardwoods. Last sawtimber harvest in 2010. White ash “pre-salvage” 2013; ongoing TSI and fuelwood harvests. In addition\, 80 plus year old plantations of larch and white pine; a 4 acre man made pond; and an Osprey nest with the possibility of observing the parents feeding their young at this time of year. As well as a demonstration of an innovative “semipermanent” boundary line and sign attachment method. Variable terrain: a level section with unimproved\, unmowed trails and a steep section of old growth with little undergrowth. The reasonably fit 78 year old owner is able to navigate the property…slowly… lol The program will proceed rain or shine unless there is a severe weather warning issued. Please dress for the weather. There is no fee and the event is open to the general public. ADDITIONAL DIRECTIONS: From Kennedy\, take US 62 East – toward Ellington; turn right on Little Rd.; turn left on Brainard Rd. Park on shoulder near 4384. A lightly traveled road with narrow shoulders.

SUMMARY:Golden Wing Warbler Habitat Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join us as NYFOA partners with Audubon NY and Indian River Lakes Conservancy to bring you a woods walk workshop to demonstrate forest bird habitat management in practice. Specifically\, this program will focus on the unique habitat required by Golden-winged Warblers. Golden-winged Warblers are a migratory shrubland species that have suffered one of the steepest declines of any North American songbird over the past 50 years. Restoration for golden-winged warblers can be challenging due to their habitat needs\, they require a layer of grasses for nest construction\, shrubs to provide nest protection and single standing trees to provide a perch for males to sing. During this program we will tour an area of the reserve that has been specifically managed for golden-winged warbler habitat. We will discuss the habitat needs of this species and highlight opportunities for landowners to incorporate this type of management on their own properties. We will also highlight other forest bird species that will benefit from this type of management. Space is limited to 40 participants\, pre-registration is required.
