Course Description

This 10 lesson virtual course teaches agricultural professionals and farmers how to support beneficial birds and manage pest birds on farms. By learning how to assess the farm’s avian needs and opportunities, farms can be designed to provide for a diversity of beneficial birds. If pest birds are a problem, they can be discouraged with specific practices during the shorter periods when they cause damage. The sessions cover the latest research, tools and resources, and are given by experts in avian pest control, entomology, ornithology and conservation.

This course was first offered via webinar format in early 2022 through support from Western SARE (Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education). View the recordings of the lessons at your own pace and track your progress using the certificate below.
