Project Haskell source code Outcomes from Delivery of NRCS's WLFW-Bobwhite in Managed Pine Savannahs
by Bridgett Costanzo — published Jun 11, 2019 — last modified Apr 21, 2023 12:35 AM — filed under: , , , , ,
In 2016, the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Working Lands for Wildlife partnership began funding management activities designed to enhance, restore, and protect bobwhites habitat on private lands. Through the WLFW program, NRCS is able to assist landowners to voluntarily create and maintain bobwhite habitat in order to support the range-wide recovery of the species. In 2018, NRCS entered into an agreement with the University of Georgia to assess habitat outcomes and bobwhite population response to our conservation actions. n collaboration with the University of Georgia, NRCS is now looking to monitor some of these managed lands to help tease out habitat features that promote excellent bobwhite habitat. If possible, additional information (e.g., other forestry management actions employed) may also be collected through interviews with landowners and/or conservation partners.

Project Troff document Assessment of Native Grasses for Forage & Bobwhite Habitat
by Bridgett Costanzo — published Jun 11, 2019 — last modified Apr 21, 2023 12:36 AM — filed under: , , , , ,
The University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, through its Center for Native Grasslands Management will conduct a study to evaluate the effectiveness of a working lands conservation model for enhancing northern bobwhite and other grasslands wildlife populations. Specifically, we will evaluate native grass forage production within fescue-belt landscapes to determine how effective this strategy is for improved survival and productivity of northern bobwhite and abundance of associated grassland bird species. The study will be conducted in cooperation with partner agencies within the fescue belt.

Project Octet Stream Economic and Production Performance of Native Grasses as Forage in the Fescue Belt
by Bridgett Costanzo — published Jun 11, 2019 — last modified Apr 21, 2023 12:37 AM — filed under: , , , , ,
The primary purpose of developing this literature review and summary was to inform producers about the potential benefits from utilizing warm-season grasses in the Fescue Belt. Effectively, managing forages is not always straightforward for livestock producers. Summarizing the economic and production benefits from using warm-season grasses could help producers make more informed forage management decision and might encourage producers to consider adopting warm-season grasses. Furthermore, this literature review also gathered information about the potential benefits of using native grasslands as forage to the quail population in this region, which could likely result in an economic benefit to the producer from leasing farmland to hunters.

Product American Black Duck Decision Support Tool
by Rhishja Cota — published Nov 09, 2022 — last modified Jul 26, 2023 12:14 PM — filed under: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
The Atlantic Coast Joint Venture Black Duck Decision Support Tool (DST) helps to identify the exact number of acres to protect, restore or maintain at the small watershed scale. Through this tool, land managers can determine the best way to contribute to achieving black duck goals anywhere on the landscape.

Project Range-wide assessment of grazing and hydrology in bog turtle wetlands
by Bridgett Costanzo — published Oct 28, 2022 — last modified Jul 24, 2023 11:25 AM — filed under: , , , , ,
In December 2018, a meeting of bog turtle experts was hosted in Richmond, VA and experts across the Eastern range of the species identified as a high priority the need to better understand the benefits and potential negative impacts of livestock grazing in bog turtle inhabited wetlands. Hydrologic conditions in bog turtle wetlands emerged as a secondary concern needing more research. Recently, NRCS’ Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) awarded funds to Dr. Carola Haas leading a team of researchers at Virginia Tech University to conduct an assessment on these two topics (grazing and hydrology).

Product The Effects of Livestock Grazing on the Bog Turtle
by Rhishja Cota — published Nov 08, 2022 — last modified Jul 24, 2023 11:27 AM — filed under: , , , , , , , , , , ,
The demise of small-scale dairy farming over the past three decades has led to the pastoral abandonment of the majority of bog turtle habitats in the Northeast. As a consequence, habitats are being degraded by the growth of invasive flora, changes in hydrology, and the loss of turtle microhabitats created by livestock.

Product Grazing for Bog Turtle Habitat Management: Case Study of a New York Fen
by Rhishja Cota — published Nov 08, 2022 — last modified Jul 24, 2023 11:28 AM — filed under: , , , , , , , , , , , ,
This study presents results from a single wetland complex in New York, USA, which we managed primarily with cattle grazing over four and a half growing seasons. Management effectiveness was assessed by monitoring Bog Turtle nest placement, habitat use via radio tracking, and vegetation structure and composition change in permanent plots.

Product Effects of Habitat Alterations on Bog Turtles (Glyptemys muhlenbergii): A Comparison of Two Populations
by Rhishja Cota — published Nov 08, 2022 — last modified Jul 24, 2023 11:29 AM — filed under: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
This study compared Bog Turtle population demography and habitat use from 1994 to 2009 at two sites in Massachusetts, USA: one site was managed for nonnative invasive species and natural succession (Site 1), and the other site was flooded from American Beaver (Castor canadensis) activity resulting in an expansion of nonnative invasive plants (Site 2).
