Southeast Trust for Parks & Land
Southeast Trust for Parks & Land (STPAL) and their Wildlife Consultant, Vic Vansant, is undertaking a project with Ecoforester, Carolina Audubon, USDA Equip program, and State of North Carolina Forestry and DENR to create 16-acres of habitat for the “near threatened” golden-winged warbler (GWWA) on 750-acres Bald Mountain Creek Nature Preserve in Yancey County, NC. This bird’s population has declined 98% in the Appalachians in the past 45 years, primarily due to habitat loss.

Using Native Warm-Season Grasses in a Grazing System
Participants will learn the latest research-supported methods for reliable native forage establishment and grazing management to maintain grass vigor and animal performance through the summer.
This training is being presented by The Center for Native Grasslands Management and NBCI through a grant provided by Quail Forever and the Natural Resources Conservation Service in support of the Working Lands For Wildlife: Bobwhite in Grasslands project.
Topics to be covered:
Bobwhite basics, bobwhite habitat considerations in grazing lands
Overview of native warm-season grass (NWSG) establishment
Why use NWSG in your grazing system – animal performance and economics
How to manage NWSG forages – maintaining vigor and productivity, impact on bobwhite and other grassland birds
NWSG in complementary cool-season grass systems.
Registration:
No registration fee, but registration is required.
Please RSVP to jhodge34@utk.edu.
