Bain) GAP - application of GAP to facilitate planning for biodiversity conservation (C. Smith) Area-sensitive birds - grassland and forest (T. Gavin) Invasive plants - biological control (B. Blossey)

DNR History with Biodiversity Programs Extension Examples Biodiversity for Farms and Forests- video (G. Goff, P. Curtis) Enhancing Biodiversity in the Northeast Through Management of Early Successional Forests- conference (G. Goff, P. Curtis) Biodiversity for Farms, Forests and Parks- satellite video-conference (G. Goff, P. Curtis) Assessment of Stream Bank Protection Practices and Attitudes - survey (D. Gross)
