Dear MOU Members: July 9 is the deadline for early registration and for making group rat= e room reservations for the Golden-winged Warbler Conservation Workshop planned for August 10-12 in Siren, Wisconsin. Please visit the worksho= p website at http://www.grantsburg.k12.wi.us/gwwa/ for details. The Golden-winged Warbler Conservation Workshop is designed for biologi= sts, researchers, conservation planners, managers, and for anybody intereste= d in improving the status of Golden-wings, whether you work for a state or federal agency, conservation NGO, academic or research institution, loc= al planning or management unit, or private industry. Concerned citizens a= nd birders are also encouraged to attend. This will be the first workshop focused solely on Golden-winged Warbler= s throughout the entire range of the species, including the wintering gro= unds in Central America and northwestern South America. We will have representatives from the neotropics with us to help us plan a comprehen= sive conservation strategy for the species. The workshop will feature a fie= ld trip to important GWWA habitats in Minnesota and Wisconsin and opportui= ties for on-the-spot discussions of pratical management actions that would benefit GWWAs in these habitats. This is a workshop you will not want to miss! For those unfamiliar wit= h the conservation planning/implementation continuum, the workshop will provide a complete overview of the entire process as well as an opportu= nity to explore some of the details of continental assessment, identificatio= n of reasons for decline, genetics, population and habitat modeling, definit= ion of research priorities, management scenarios, conservation action, and evaluation and monitoring. Most importantly, the workshop will provide= the background and the opportunity for participants to help draft an action= plan for Golden-wings within the context of all-bird conservation. Th= e processes and skills employed in the workshop should serve as a model f= or similar actions for other species. Plan now to attend! And remember: Minnesota hosts an estimated 42% of = the global population of Golden-winged Warblers during the breeding season,= so our state is especially important to the conservation of this declining= species.= --0__=09BBFAA4DFFF54328f9e8a93df938690918c09BBFAA4DFFF5432 Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Content-type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII Content-Disposition: inline <html><body> <p>Dear MOU Members:<br> <br> <b><font size=3D"4">July 9</font></b> is the deadline for early regist= ration and for making group rate room reservations for the <b><font siz= e=3D"4">Golden-winged Warbler Conservation Workshop</font></b> planned = for August 10-12 in Siren, Wisconsin.
