On June 19 Bradford Research Center hosted its annual Quail & Native Pollinator Field Day. More than 50 attendees learned about different management strategies to better improve quail numbers on their property.
Columbia College Students Eric Tempest and Megan Vogt shared their research with seeding natives and grasses for wildlife improvement. Tempest demonstrated how to properly calibrate a seeder where as Vogt explained why using these planters is important to success in plot establishment.
On the chemical side, Weed Science Technician Carey Page shared with attendees the benefits of certain treatments to control noxious plants. He answered many of the guests questions about what chemicals work on certain species.
Out at the wildlife habitat fields, Bradford’s own Ray Wright talked about how prescribed burns can help with management.
