SUMMARY:Improving Grassland Bird Habitat on Farms
DESCRIPTION:Grassland bird species at risk\, such as bobolink\, eastern meadowlark\, and grasshopper sparrow\, rely on agricultural grasslands in Ontario for nesting. These species nest directly on the ground and need cover from vegetation to protect nests and young. Bird Ecology and Conservation Ontario\, a small non-profit organization\, collaborates with farmers and landowners to study nesting grassland birds in agricultural landscapes. Join us and a panel of farmers and grassland bird stewards for a roundtable discussion about how you can manage vegetation to attract grassland birds and improve nesting habitat on your property. Speakers will share their experience with creating and maintaining hayfields and pastures suitable for grassland bird nesting. The discussion will focus on practical information and strategies to establish and maintain tall dense vegetation for nesting bobolink\, for example through overseeding\, grazing\, and soil amendments. Participants will also be encouraged to share their experiences with creating and managing nesting habitat for grassland birds. Course fee is $20.00. Please RSVP to info@greyagservices.ca.

SUMMARY:Grassland Bird Conservation on Farms
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Zoe Lebrun-Southcott\, Dr Andrew Campmozzi and Hanna Kirchmeir\, all of Bird Ecology and Conservation Ontario \n​Saturday February 24th\, 2024\, 1:30 – 3:30 pm at Grey Ag Services. \n​Cost: $20.00. Please register here to attend in-person. \n\n\n\n\nGrassland bird species at risk\, such as bobolink\, rely on hayfields and pastures for nesting habitat in Ontario. Bird Ecology and Conservation Ontario\, a small non-profit organization\, has been working with farmers since 2016 to implement stewardship for nesting grassland birds while trying to minimize negative impacts on farm production. Join us to learn about the grassland birds that may be nesting in your hayfields and pastures and to find out what we have learned so far about the challenges and opportunities for grassland bird conservation in agricultural grasslands. We encourage course participants to share details about their farm operations for a collaborative discussion about finding ways to make space for nesting grassland birds in hayfield and pasture management plans.
