   Do you know your responsibilities to protect birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act? Melissa Burns of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Janice Gardner of Great Salt Lake Audubon and an environmental consultant, will discuss how both private and public personnel can avoid "take" of birds during tree trimming, brush removal, and other habitat-altering projects. The webinar will use case studies to discuss basic bird biology, how birds are impacted, and project planning as it relates to professionals in the tree care and forestry industry.
