The real challenge lies in knowing when\u2014and how\u2014to make those adjustments. To help with that, several states have created <em>Forestry for the Birds<\/em> guidebooks, offering practical strategies to enhance forest habitat for birds. In this episode of <em>SilviCast<\/em>, we\u2019re joined by Christian Nelson, Lake States Coordinator for the Forest Stewards Guild, to discuss the newly released <em>Forestry for Minnesota Birds<\/em> guidebook and how it can support better habitat outcomes across the region.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo Credit: Mark Schocken<\/em><\/p><\/div><div>\n<a class=\"uwspbtn uwsp-btn-solid-purple\" href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/SilviCast\" target=\"_blank\">Subscribe to SilviCast <i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"hcard-mediacell\"><div class=\"hcard-images hcard-oneimg\"><div class=\"hcard-image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/wisconsin-forestry-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/01\/Pileated-Woodpecker-female-feeding-chicks_Mark-Schocken_SS_U-EXPANDED-scaled-1.jpg)\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"hslider-buttoncontainer\"><button class=\"hsliderBack horizontal-sliderbutton\" aria-label=\"previous slide\">\u276e<\/button><div class=\"single-card-nav\"><\/div><button class=\"hsliderForward horizontal-sliderbutton\" aria-label=\"next slide\">\u276f<\/button><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Listen Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"buzzsprout-player-17589336\"><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/1135730\/episodes\/17589336-s-6-ep-8-bird-s-eye-view.js?container_id=buzzsprout-player-17589336&#038;player=small\" type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid black;background-color: black\">\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Guest On This Episode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2545\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/wisconsin-forestry-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/01\/Christian_redpine_from_below_Cropped_May2025-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-664\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/wisconsin-forestry-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/01\/Christian_redpine_from_below_Cropped_May2025-scaled-1.jpg 2545w, https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/wisconsin-forestry-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/01\/Christian_redpine_from_below_Cropped_May2025-scaled-1-298x300.jpg 298w, https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/wisconsin-forestry-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/01\/Christian_redpine_from_below_Cropped_May2025-scaled-1-1018x1024.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/wisconsin-forestry-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/01\/Christian_redpine_from_below_Cropped_May2025-scaled-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/wisconsin-forestry-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/01\/Christian_redpine_from_below_Cropped_May2025-scaled-1-768x773.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/wisconsin-forestry-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/01\/Christian_redpine_from_below_Cropped_May2025-scaled-1-1527x1536.jpg 1527w, https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/wisconsin-forestry-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/01\/Christian_redpine_from_below_Cropped_May2025-scaled-1-2036x2048.jpg 2036w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2545px) 100vw, 2545px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Christian Nelson<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Lake States Coordinator, Forest Stewards Guild<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Christian has been professional forester in the Lake States for over 25 years working with state agencies and Native American tribes.
