The Golden-winged Warbler (GWWA) Working Group is honoring its 20th Anniversary in 2024 by hosting a GWWA Habitat Management Challenge! The goal is to encourage any partner that has used Golden-winged Warbler habitat best management practices in their states to contribute to this effort.
There is an ongoing need to create and maintain suitable early successional habitat for this species of high conservation need. Because habitats and management strategies vary significantly across the GWWA breeding range, the working group is asking for details about the kind of management, and pictures that represent the resulting habitat and/or management practices in action whenever possible. The data from this survey will be used to create a StoryMap that will not only serve to track progress in the Challenge, but also as an information resource for those interested in learning more about the various strategies that can be used to manage Golden-winged Warbler.
