HABITAT MANAGEMENT FOR RUFFED GROUSE: YOUNG FOREST AND WILDLIFE OPENINGS AND TRAILS
Wednesday, April 29
10:00 AM
Nicolet College, Northwoods Center 207-209
Instructor: Alaina Roth
Hybrid: In-person and Zoom
Alaina Roth will be discussing an important habitat project led by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Management Program on the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest that pairs timber harvest for young successional forest with managed wildlife openings and trails. Open herbaceous cover rich in forbs and insects can be limiting to species living in the heavily forested landscape of the north including, ruffed grouse, turkeys, bear, woodcock, and many more. In this presentation we will learn about the biological value of these habitat types to different species and will delve into how field staff plan and complete this important work.
Alaina Roth grew up hunting, fishing, and camping with her family and developed a passion for wildlife at a young age. She pursued this passion by earning a bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Management from the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point. Following that, she worked various wildlife technician jobs across the country, ranging from studying black bears, elk, and mountain lions in New Mexico to studying quail on a working cattle ranch in Oklahoma. She later earned her master’s degree from Louisiana State University, where her field research focused on Eastern wild turkey ecology. Alaina was fortunate to return to her home state and has been working for the Wisconsin DNR for the last seven years. She has served as the Vilas County wildlife biologist and the state’s ruffed grouse specialist for the past three years. In her free time, she enjoys hunting, fishing, and training her dogs with her husband.
