 Workshop Format


The workshops are three days in length. The first two days consist of intense classroom sessions led by four of the nation's premier wildlife management experts. These laid-back sessions allow for plenty of interaction with the instructors, opportunities to ask questions, and networking with fellow workshop participants. Day three features a field trip to the host airport, during which hands-on wildlife mitigation exercises are performed and Wildlife Hazard Assessment (WHA) techniques are discussed.

 

 Subject Matter Highlights


Highlights include discussions on wildlife population management and dispersal techniques, endangered species act compliance, strike reporting, wetlands mitigation, pesticides usage, drafting and implementation of integrated wildlife hazard management programs, and an overview of applicable local, state, and federal laws, regulations, and ordinances.
