File ECMAScript program Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warbler Habitat in Deciduous Forests of the Great Lakes
by Kristin Bomboy — published Mar 17, 2021 — last modified Jun 25, 2023 10:48 PM — filed under: , ,
This supplement for Deciduous Forests accompanies Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warbler Habitats in the Great Lakes Region, which includes general information that applies to all habitat types in this area. Users should refer to both documents to develop a comprehensive management strategy for Golden-winged Warbler. The following are guidelines and not absolute rules for the creation of breeding habitat, thus prescriptions that fall outside the numerical ranges presented can provide habitat, too. Consult a Golden-winged Warbler or young forest habitat expert for assistance in tailoring a management plan to your property, and, if available, follow forest management guidelines for your state or province. Historically, young forest in this region was generated by natural disturbances such as wind, ice, insect outbreaks, flooding, beaver activity, and fire. Today, much habitat is created through commercial management of deciduous forests, which is the focus of this habitat guide. Deciduous forest management opportunities exist throughout the Great Lakes on public, private, and tribal lands.

File ECMAScript program Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warbler Habitat on Utility Rights-of-way in the Great Lakes
by Kristin Bomboy — published Mar 17, 2021 — last modified Jun 25, 2023 10:48 PM — filed under: , ,
Utility ROWs consist of long, linear corridors that are often managed in a way that can provide habitat for Golden-winged Warbler and other shrubland birds. Many landscapes within the Great Lakes region are traversed by extensive and growing networks of electric transmission lines and gas pipelines (Figure 1), and in some of these the utility corridors are the principal sites of extensive shrubland habitat. Only a small proportion of these utility ROWs are managed for Golden-winged Warbler; therefore, substantial opportunities exist to benefit this species while still meeting the vegetation management goals of utility companies and working within acceptable budgets.

File ECMAScript program Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warbler Habitat on Abandoned Farmlands in the Great Lakes
by Kristin Bomboy — published Mar 17, 2021 — last modified Jun 25, 2023 10:49 PM — filed under: , ,
Since the early 20th century, abandoned farmland has become an important component of the Great Lakes landscape. When crop and pasture lands become inactive, they begin succeeding into their pre-agricultural state, which is often deciduous forest. The span of time from field to forest takes decades, during which there is a period of years where the ratio of herbaceous vegetation, shrubs, and young trees on a given site can potentially create habitat for breeding Golden-winged Warblers (Figure 1). Without active management, this is a temporary condition that typically persists for less than a decade. Throughout the region there is an excellent opportunity, especially on private lands, to create habitat for Golden-winged Warbler on abandoned farmlands. Perhaps the best opportunities exist on poorly drained soils that are too wet for pasture or crops.

File ECMAScript program Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warbler Habitat in Shrub Wetlands of the Great Lakes
by Kristin Bomboy — published Mar 17, 2021 — last modified Jun 25, 2023 10:49 PM — filed under: , ,
Shrub wetlands are extensive in the region, particularly in the western Great Lakes. Not all shrub wetlands are occupied by Golden-winged Warbler for a variety of reasons including high water levels, lack of desired woody and herbaceous vegetation patchiness, lack of scattered canopy trees, and distance to upland deciduous forest. Dense mature stands of unbroken woody shrub cover over large areas often are unsuitable. Reduced flooding and beaver activity may be partially responsible for these conditions and restoration of these natural disturbance regimes could improve habitat quality. In other cases, mechanical treatments provide the mechanism for creating or restoring breeding habitat (Figure 1) and are the focus of the included guidelines. For this insert, shrub wetlands are defined as palustrine wetlands dominated by broad-leaved deciduous woody vegetation less than 20 feet tall. The species include true shrubs, young trees, and scattered trees of varying size. See Table 1 for common dominant shrub and tree species.

File ECMAScript program Conservation Choices for Wildlife: Golden-winged Warbler and Other Forest-dependent Species
by Tab Manager — published Jun 06, 2019 — last modified May 29, 2025 06:03 PM — filed under: , , , , , , ,
This guide outlines seven key conservation practices recommended to forest landowners who want to sustainably manage forests to benefit wildlife and forest health. USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and conservation partners work with forest landowners to plan and implement these practices that benefit a variety of species, including the golden-winged warbler. This assistance includes the development of a custom forest management plan as well as financial support to help cover part of the costs of implementing the practices. Technical and financial assistance are available through the Farm Bill, the largest source of federal funding for private lands conservation.

File Golden-winged Warbler Non-breeding Season Conservation Plan
by Kristin Bomboy — published Mar 17, 2021 — last modified Jun 25, 2023 10:40 PM — filed under: , ,
The Golden-winged Warbler Non-breeding Season Conservation Plan (Chapter 4 of the Goldenwinged Warbler Conservation Plan) describes the non-breeding ecology of the Golden-winged Warbler and proposes concrete actions to maintain habitat throughout its stationary nonbreeding range (hereafter winter range). The plan is intended for use by conservation practitioners, land managers, and governmental agencies both in North America and Latin America. This plan provides guidance on where conservation investment in Latin America will have the greatest impact on Golden-winged Warbler habitat and recommends conservation actions to address the specific threats to habitat retention in the winter range. This plan is also intended for use at the country level for all Latin American countries within the Golden-winged Warbler winter range. For each country, this plan prioritizes areas where conservation action should begin immediately, defines five-year conservation goals, and proposes a conservation strategy to meet those goals by the year 2020.
