This is THE practical session on Birding and Wildlife Trails for those interested in starting a statewide trail or updating their existing birding trail! Come learn from four state agency staff and Audubon Alaska on their Birding/Birding and Wildlife Trails to gain practical knowledge to implement or improve your state’s Trail and engage more of your public in wildlife viewing. Each presenter will provide perspective on a different aspect of Trail development, maintenance, or keeping it fresh with 2.0 updates. Five, 15-min presentations will be followed by a 15-min interactive Q&A where any question can be asked of presenters or others with different experiences in our audience. A 30-min break will follow this session, so additional questions are encouraged during that time. We are here to learn and help.
Presentations include:
  • To Print or Not to Print: Maps or Apps? – Anne Glick, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
  • Birding Trail on a Shoestring Budget – Sarah Kendrick, Missouri Department of Conservation
  • Using Community Science to Keep Trails Fresh – Deniz Aygen, Idaho Department of Fish and Game
  • The Southeast Alaska Birding Trail: A Tale of Partnerships and Collaborations – Victoria Elmore, Audubon Alaska
  • Trail Building: Experiences from a State in the Thick of Development – Mike Rader, Kansas Dept of Wildlife and Parks
