Applied Wildlife Habitat Management, Second Edition, provides a practical guide for users with many levels of expertise in wildlife habitat management and an interest in land conservation planning. Topics are presented so the reader can develop a component of a wildlife management plan through the completion of each chapter—wildlife habitat planning, wildlife habitat relationships, environmental measurements, wildlife habitat analyses, habitat management techniques, common planning approaches, and emerging issues. The work introduces the basic tools to understand, plan, implement, measure, analyze, and document efforts to improve habitat for wildlife using science-based decision-making approaches.Providing a step-by-step guide that is adaptable to a range of environmental settings, the authors first lay out the ecological principles applicable to any project. They take the reader through various sampling designs, measurement techniques, and analytical methods required to develop and complete a habitat project, including the creation of a report or management plan. End-of-chapter summaries emphasize key management concepts with exercises putting ecological principles into practice.This guide is an invaluable reference for students, land managers, and landowners who are developing and implementing management plans for habitat modification and improvement on both private and public lands.

"Anyone can take responsibility for a place," Simon Roosevelt, great-great grandson of the avid conservationist President Theodore Roosevelt, writes in his foreword. "How persistently and well a conservationist pursues responsibility, connection, and the imperatives of use and care is as much a record of a conservation commitment as is the landowner's mark on the land." Private working lands account for 70 percent (more than one billion acres) of US land, providing food, fiber, purified air and water, wildlife habitat, and cultural and societal benefits. The stewards of these lands are crucial to managing our nation's natural resources, though private landowners' contributions to society are often invisible to the public.As our population becomes increasingly disconnected from the outdoors, sharing the values and motivations of private landowners fosters a deeper understanding of and appreciation for the day-to-day challenges inherent in working the land. In The Art and Science of Private Land Stewardship, editors Roel Lopez, Jenny Sanders, James Cathey, and Abigail Huddleston present the history, philosophy, practices, and use of science-based information to provide knowledge and perspective to natural resource professionals; conservation advocates; and federal, state, and local decision-makers in their efforts to support the stewards of the working lands that sustain our country.Annotated with interviews of private landowners, The Art and Science of Private Land Stewardship will prepare agricultural and natural resource providers and agency practitioners for their invaluable work toward ensuring the resilience, health, and sustainability of our working lands—and thereby land stewards—into the future.
