U.S. Fish & Wildlife ServiceAbstract: The Golden-winged Warbler (GWWA) is a rapidly declining species of migratory songbird that is currently being considered for listing under the US Endangered Species Act. The golden-winged warbler relies on early successional habitat (old fields and young forest) which must be created and maintained to support breeding birds. In an effort to increase populations throughout the breeding range, creation and maintenance of habitat is essential. The Golden-winged Warbler Working Group is initiating a Habitat Management Challenge throughout the breeding range to encourage a variety of partners (state and federal agencies as well as non-profit organizations and private citizens) to contribute to this effort.

This StoryMap highlights the projects both completed and underway, as well as showcases the diversity of landscapes and management strategies that can create and maintain GWWA habitat across its breeding range. We'll explore how management strategies can be tailored to different environments, all with the same goal: creating and maintaining suitable habitat for golden-winged warblers to thrive!ArcGIS FeatureLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/680ea26cf0fe4a8f9f5ee6b7e0f7504c_0engU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Open DataPublicGolden winged warbler range 28JUL11 [United States]Web servicesUnited StatesLast Modified: 2024-04-10
