Join UVLT and the Vermont Center for Ecostudies in learning about what you
can do to manage your fields for grassland birds!

Hayfields and other open grasslands can provide important habitat for
declining grassland birds, while still meeting many other land management
objectives. Experts will share tips, tools, and incentives to strike a
balance: production and stewardship. Get to know the birds and their
ecology, learn ways to couple bird-friendly mowing regimes with management
to maintain field quality, and explore support opportunities.

Recommended for open parcels of at least 20 acres. Free. Please RSVP:
