About this episode

The episode discusses memory tricks for recognizing warbler songs and the myths surrounding clear-cutting and its impact on wildlife.

Many warbler songs are easier to remember when tied to phrases. Dr. D.J. McNeil, University of Kentucky Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, will show us how these little memory tricks can help you pick out warbler songs more easily and start recognizing them on your own with a new edition of Wings of Kentucky. Also on tap: Rooting Out the Myths: Is Clear-cutting Always Bad for Wildlife? Clear-cutting often gets a bad reputation—and in some cases, concerns are valid. Seeing a stand of trees removed can feel alarming. However, the idea that clear-cutting is always harmful to wildlife is a myth. Like many forestry practices, its impact depends on how, where, and why it's used. Join Dr. Matt Springer, University of Kentucky Department of Forestry and Natural Resources - Extension as he lets us know how clear-cutting could be helpful for some wildlife. 5.27.26 For more episodes of From the Woods Today, visit https://forestry.mgcafe.uky.edu/woods-today
