The Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area is hosting a presentation about conservation in the KRCL.  Cerulean Warblers, once widespread in the eastern U.S., have declined by about 70% since 1966 due to habitat loss and degradation. The Kittatinny Ridge Conservation Landscape (KRCL) provides critical breeding habitat, and targeted forest management—such as shelterwood harvests, canopy gap creation, and crop tree release—has been implemented to restore the structural diversity these birds need. As a designated climate refugia, the ridge also helps buffer biodiversity from the impacts of climate change, supporting long-term resilience for forest-dwelling species.

This talk is part of a monthly presentation series discussing a diversity of current conservation topics on the second Wednesday of each month in the Middle Creek auditorium at 6:30 p.m. These events are free and open to the public; no RSVP is necessary.
