Kirtland’s Warbler Environmental Science Matt Rider

Steps taken to recover the organism 1. Develop and maintain some 36,000 40,000 acres of suitable nesting habitat for the Kirtland's warbler on a sustained basis. This will be done through planned rotation cuttings on 140,000 acres of jack pine stands within designated management areas. 2. Protect the Kirtland's warbler on its wintering grounds and along its migration route. 3. Reduce key factors adversely affecting reproduction and survival of the Kirtland's warbler. 4. Monitor breeding population of the Kirtland's warbler to evaluate responses to management practices and environmental changes. 5. Develop and implement emergency measures to prevent extinction.1
