Conservation education is one of the main goals at the farm. Previous Field days at Burntridge Tree farm

Birds, Bugs & Board Feet 2004
Great Food and Education are a perfect combo. The Cerulean Warbler Survey Study was interesting (I heard 2 @ 3 locations in my later survey), Dr. Horn (vice pres. of Columbus, OH Audubon) presented "bugs in the Forest" to approx 40 people on hand.

The Blue Bird Society field day 2003 
Approx. 50 people were on hand to listen to Bluebird expert Doug LeVasseur. He is past president of the North American Bluebird Society and past president of the Ohio Bluebird Society.
 



 

Adam Bump, previous RGS biologist, explains the importance of specific habitat for young forest dependant species of wildlife.

2002 field day with the Forested Flyways and RGS

This event was a joint effort between the American Tree Farm System and the Ruffed Grouse Society. The purpose was to bring tree farmers and other interested people out for a day of education and teaching about the forest. This on site review of active forest management, and the outstanding list of professional speakers, gave everyone some ideas to help them achieve their own objectives.
     Forested Flyways is a Habitat Conservation program of the American Forest Foundation that links members of the American Tree Farm System (ATFS) with conservation groups and agencies to improve and restore wildlife habitat on family forestlands.

Song Birds were the topic with Dave Swanson, Forest Wildlife Biologist,
Ohio Div. Of Wildlife.

Dave spoke about various song birds and the habitat requirements needed for their specific survival. The overhead canopy is required to be made up of various age classes through out the forested landscape, from early re-growth to mature stands.
