about what you can do to help. A wide range of experts will be on hand to share information about why certain species are declining, as well as specific
steps you can take on your land, from installing kestrel boxes to managing your woodlands, and programs available to you to help reduce your costs.

Forester, Marianne Piche from Mass Wildlife, and Wendy Ferris, from Franklin Land Trust and the Massachusetts Woodlands Institute will be part of the
