American Bird Conservancy (ABC), in partnership with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), is looking for a motivated individual to work effectively with private forest landowners and local partners in Pennsylvania to implement sustainable forest management practices known to benefit Cerulean Warblers and associated wildlife on private lands as part of the Appalachian Mountains Joint Venture’s (AMJV) Cerulean Warbler Appalachian Forest Enhancement, a project of the NRCS Regional Conservation Partners Program (RCPP).
The Cerulean Warbler Appalachian Forestland Enhancement is a 5-year RCPP project designed to improve mature forest habitat on private lands for Cerulean Warblers and associated species in the states of WV, MD, PA, KY, and OH.

This project will complement the existing NRCS Working Lands For Wildlife (WLFW) Golden-winged Warbler (GWWA) program, and this Partnership Coordinator will also have the opportunity to promote the use of GWWA Best Management Practices to create young forest habitat, in conjunction with the Cerulean Warbler recommendations, where the two species overlap.
