In June 2007 Moosehorn biologist Andy Weik assisted West Virginia Department of Natural Resources biologist Shawn Head of the Elkins office in developing a Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program plan to regenerate shrub and forest habitat for high priority migratory birds on a parcel of private land in Canaan Valley, West Virginia.  Weik drafted silvicultural prescriptions and mapped the long term harvest plan to regenerate aspen, alders and other shrubs on approximately 130 acres.  Successful implementation of the management plan will ensure habitat for migratory and resident birds that use shrub and early successional forest, and will support West Virginia's state wildlife action plan.
