Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warbler Habitat on Abandoned Farmlands in the Appalachians: This is a supplemental document that provides information on managing abandoned farmlands in the Appalachians to develop and restore habitat for Golden-winged Warblers. This guide should be used in conjunction with the Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warbler Habitats in the Appalachian Region, which includes general information that applies to all habitat types in the Appalachian region.

Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warbler Habitat on Minelands in the Appalachians: This is a supplemental document that provides information on managing minelands in the Appalachians to develop and restore habitat for Golden-winged Warblers. This guide should be used in conjunction with the Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warbler Habitats in the Appalachian Region, which includes general information that applies to all habitat types in the Appalachian region.

Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warbler Habitat in Deciduous Forests of the Appalachians: This is a supplemental document that provides information on managing deciduous forests in the Appalachians to develop and restore habitat for Golden-winged Warblers. This guide should be used in conjunction with the Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warbler Habitats in the Appalachian Region, which includes general information that applies to all habitat types in the Appalachian region.

Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warbler Habitats in the Appalachian Region: A Guide for Land Managers and Landowners: This guide is intended to provide land managers and landowners with regional, habitat-specific strategies and techniques to begin developing and restoring habitat for Golden-winged Warblers. This document includes general information that applies to all habitat types in the Appalachian region and should be used along with supplemental documents dedicated to the management of specific regional habitat types (deciduous forests, minelands, abandoned farmlands, grazed forestland/montane pastures, utility rights-of-way, forest and shrub wetlands) most important to Golden-winged Warblers.

Golden-winged Warbler Landowner Outreach Mailer Template: This editible mailer template from the Golden-winged Warbler Working Group is a great way to generate private landowner interest in your area! It outlines the importance and benefits of Golden-winged Warbler habitat and how landowners can participate or get more information.

Golden-winged Warbler Status Review and Conservation Plan: The Golden-winged Warbler Status Review was initiated over a decade ago when David Buehler, John Confer, and Ron Canterbury were funded by the US Fish & Wildlife Service to elaborate on what was originally a status assessment begun by Chuck Hunter in 1999. Over time, that original project received input from others and underwent numerous stalls, revisions, and reviews. The continuous stream of new information that so rapidly outpaced the writing of the document is actually a tribute to the tremendous dedication and energy of the Golden-winged Warbler Working Group and its partners. In this version of the Status Review, survey and trend estimates have been updated to include 2009 BBS trend information. Genetic data were updated to include birds sampled during the 2010 breeding season. We are pleased finally to release the Status Review, at the same time acknowledging that new research and conservation action will just as quickly outdate much of the information it summarizes. We prefer to think of this document as a Status Transition to a more hopeful future.

Golden-winged Warbler Non-breeding Season Conservation Plan: The Golden-winged Warbler Non-breeding Season Conservation Plan (Chapter 4 of the Goldenwinged Warbler Conservation Plan) describes the non-breeding ecology of the Golden-winged Warbler and proposes concrete actions to maintain habitat throughout its stationary nonbreeding range (hereafter winter range). The plan is intended for use by conservation practitioners, land managers, and governmental agencies both in North America and Latin America. This plan provides guidance on where conservation investment in Latin America will have the greatest impact on Golden-winged Warbler habitat and recommends conservation actions to address the specific threats to habitat retention in the winter range. This plan is also intended for use at the country level for all Latin American countries within the Golden-winged Warbler winter range. For each country, this plan prioritizes areas where conservation action should begin immediately, defines five-year conservation goals, and proposes a conservation strategy to meet those goals by the year 2020.

Golden-winged Warbler Poster: This poster from the Golden-winged Warbler Working Group provides simple ways to help the Golden-winged Warbler, as well as outlines threats to Golden-winged Warblers during migration and the nonbreeding season.

Golden-winged Warbler Conservation Initiative Brochure: This printable brochure from the Golden-winged Warbler Working Group highlights research priorities as well as key management strategies for private landowners and public land managers.

Conservation Choices for Wildlife: Golden-winged Warbler and Other Forest-dependent Species: This guide outlines seven key conservation practices recommended to forest landowners who want to sustainably manage forests to benefit wildlife and forest health. USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and conservation partners work with forest landowners to plan and implement these practices that benefit a variety of species, including the golden-winged warbler. This assistance includes the development of a custom forest management plan as well as financial support to help cover part of the costs of implementing the practices. Technical and financial assistance are available through the Farm Bill, the largest source of federal funding for private lands conservation.

Sagebrush Biome Framework: This framework for 2021-2025 reflects collaborative, multi-state planning efforts to update SGI 2.0, and continues to build from a decade of success conserving the sagebrush biome. This framework also serves as NRCS’ ongoing contribution to the Sagebrush Conservation Strategy administered by Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. Sharing common cross-boundary threats, NRCS staff across eleven western states collaborated to create this shared vision for conservation action.
