While owls are among the most recognizable forest birds\, most do not build their own nests. Instead\, they rely on natural cavities\, abandoned woodpecker holes\, broken tops\, and other features found in snags\, making them highly vulnerable to forestry practices that remove these critical structures. \nDrawing from recent field research on multiple species of owls\, Holt will present data on tree species selection\, cavity dimensions\, and habitat characteristics that influence nesting success. His findings underscore that snags are an essential biological infrastructure supporting more than 85 cavity-nesting bird species and a wide range of mammals and invertebrates. \nThis presentation highlights practical\, research-based strategies for integrating snag conservation into sustainable forestry\, demonstrating that the future of many owl species depends on the trees we choose to leave behind. \n*A $10 donation is suggested. \nFor more information\, contact us at info@vinsweb.org.
