Description

A CASE STUDY OF WILDLIFE HABITAT STEWARDSHIP AT DISTANT HILL Regardless of the size of your property, what you do on your land can have a profound effect on the wildlife that use it. You can play an important role in benefiting wildlife by enhancing wildlife habitat on your property with proper management. Creating and maintaining healthy wildlife habitats can be fun and rewarding! The three hour workshop will begin with a short presentation by Jesse Mohr of Native Geographic discussing the process of developing the NRCS-funded Wildlife Habitat Stewardship Plan and acoustic bat surveys for the 155-acre Distant Hill property. Jesse's talk will be followed by Jeff Littleton and Steven Lamonde of Moosewood Ecological discussing their work creating an Ecological Inventory of the Distant Hill property. We will then head out onto the land to highlight specific recommendations from both reports to help guide Distant Hill in the long-term stewardship and care of the property’s wildlife habitats and other related natural resources.
