--001a113e255a754d0d05316cef9b Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Passed along on behalf of John Brazner, NS DNR. James. "Birding Volunteers Needed! In 2014, NSDNR initiated a pilot study to assess the ecological integrity of forested wetlands in western Nova Scotia using bird communities. The overall goals of the project are to identify the best biotic indicators of forested wetland integrity, improve knowledge of forested wetland species=E2=80=90habitat associations, develop an Index of Ecological Condit= ion for forested wetlands and refine priorities for conservation and forest management. Thanks to the help of six volunteer birders, 86 sites were surveyed in 2015. Laura Achenbach will begin working on the project this year as part of her new Master=E2=80=99s program at Acadia University. With Laura=E2=80= =99s help and efforts from more volunteer birders, we hope to survey around 150 more sites in 2016. That=E2=80=99s where YOU come in. If you are capable of identifying the son= gs of forested wetland breeding birds by ear and able to tromp back into forested wetlands (treed swamps, shrub swamps, tall shrub or treed bogs and fens) in the western part of the province, we=E2=80=99d love to have you join us. We= need all the help we can get because the analyses we want to complete require a lot of sites (~250-300) to be effective. Please contact John Brazner at braznejc@gov.ns.ca or (902)679-6247 for more details." --=20 James Churchill Kentville, Nova Scotia jameslchurchill@gmail.com --001a113e255a754d0d05316cef9b Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div><span style=3D"color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvet= ica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:19.32px">Passed along on be= half of John Brazner, NS DNR.</span></div><div><span style=3D"color:rgb(20,= 24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:19= .32px">James.=C2=A0</span><br></div><span style=3D"color:rgb(20,24,35);font= -family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:19.32px"><div= ><span style=3D"color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;= font-size:14px;line-height:19.32px"><br></span></div>"Birding Voluntee= rs Needed!</span><br style=3D"color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,ari= al,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:19.32px"><span style=3D"color:rgb(= 20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height= :19.32px">In 2014, NSDNR initiated a pilot study to assess the ecological i= ntegrity of forested wetlands in western Nova Scotia using bird communities= .
