Use of fire in quail management: Prescribed fire is the most useful tool in a quail manager's toolbox. SCDNR biologist Dan Peeples discusses the ins and outs of burning, how it benefits quail and other wildlife, and how you can learn to burn on your land.

Managing agricultural land for quail: Cropland used to be synonymous with bobwhite whistles in South Carolina. As Ted Rainwater, Quail Forever Farm Bill Biologist, explains, there a many things a landowner can do to modern agriculture to make it more quail-friendly.

Forest Management for bobwhites: Trees play an important role in the well-being of bobwhites. Michael Hook of the SCDNR talks about how to manage forested land for both bobwhites and dollars.

Native plants and bobwhites: Why are native plants so vital to bobwhites? TJ Savereno of Clemson Extension answers this question and gives a solid introduction to each type of plant and where its value lies. He also covers the proper mix of each type for your property.

Bobwhite Quail Seminar Series: Video series from the 2019 Bobwhite Management Seminars

Bobwhite history and biology: Dr. Cory Heaton of Clemson University talks about bobwhite biology and history with a focus on habitat requirements. If you think the bobwhite decline is due to something other than habitat, watch this video.

Forest Management for Northern Bobwhite Quail: In this webinar, Steve Chapman, NBCI Forestry Coordinator, will discuss pine forest management opportunities and practices that can not only help to bring back the bobwhite but also can have an impact on slowing the decline of those numerous songbird, pollinator and other wildlife species.

Native Vegetation Investments Pay Conservation Dividends: Viewers will learn about native vegetation’s applicability to a myriad of conservation practices beyond wildlife uses through an exploration of the supporting scientific research applied throughout the tall grass prairie and southeastern grasslands regions. Topics covered will include soil conservation, water quality, air quality, soil health, forage, biomass and wildlife

Understory Herbicides for Bobwhites and Other Wildlife: Herbicides are an important tool in both forest and wildlife management in the south and particularly in southern pine management. The common practice of heavy chemical site prep prescriptions in forest management may not be appropriate in stands where restoration and wildlife habitat is the objective. The webinar will address herbicide uses in longleaf restoration with a focus on minimizing the impact herbicides have on a healthy and diverse groundcover, including the fine fuels and plants that are beneficial to bobwhite quail, whitetail deer and the wild turkey.

Maintaining Quail and Grassland Bird Habitat in the Agricultural Landscape: Northern bobwhite quail and many other grassland bird species have experienced significant population declines over the last several decades. Loss of native grassland habitat is one of the primary causes of these declines. The CP33 – Habitat Buffers for Upland Birds is a Continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) practice that provides nesting and brooding habitat for quail and other grassland birds on less productive cropland field margins. The CP33 buffer practice can help maintain important native grassland habitat within an agricultural landscape. This webinar will discuss the CP33 practice requirements, their importance on the landscape and how best to establish, manage, and maintain the habitat quality for quail and grassland birds.

Managing Oak Forests for Northern Bobwhite Quail: The southeastern United States has millions of acres of oak dominated forests that have a closed canopy with limited herbaceous and shrub understory that northern bobwhite require. However, research has demonstrated that with adequate overstory thinning, and the use of frequent prescribed fire, these forests can support populations of Northern Bobwhite Quail, presenting perhaps the best opportunity for large-scale quail restoration in the region. Participants in the webinar will learn about managing oak forests and restoration efforts related to northern bobwhite quail.

NBCI Bobwhite Seminars: NBCI has centralized Bobwhite seminars. Here are links to those seminars.

Regenerative Agriculture: No-Till Farming: Gabe Brown, legendary Rancher from Bismarck, North Dakota, discusses how Regenerative Agriculture is a solution to local and global challenges.

More Quail Per Bale: Precision Conservation for a More Sustainable Future: How farming and quail management can be compatible on working lands.

Grazing Management Minute: Establishing Native Warm Season Grasses: In ODA's latest Grazing Management Minute, join Quail Forever's Jason Jones and Clinton County farmer Nathan Rice to learn more about establishing native warm season grasses.

Webinar- Course on Native Warm-Season Grass Forages and Grazing Management for Bobwhites: DEC 1-2, 2021. This webinar covers native warm-season grass forages in the eastern U.S. and integrating grazing management for Northern Bobwhites. The webinar was targeted at technical advisors who develop grazing management plans with landowners. This webinar was presented with the support of the Working Lands For Wildlife – Northern Bobwhite project. Key Topics: science-based information related to native warm-season grass forages, their attributes, proven establishment techniques, management guidelines, and integrating grazing management with bobwhites

Northern Bobwhite Grasslands and Savannas Framework: Presented by Bridgett Costanzo, NRCS Working Lands for Wildlife regional coordinator.

Northern Bobwhites and Fire: A Perfect Match: Prescribed fire, bobwhite ecology, and local site conditions need to be aligned for optimal bobwhite population response. This course discusses the context of fire frequency, scale, and seasonality for bobwhite management and restoration.

WLFW Northern bobwhite, Grasslands, and Savannas Framework - Partners’ webinar 3/2/2022: On March 2, 2022 Bridgett Costanzo of NRCS's Working Lands for Wildlife and Jessica McGuire of QF presented on the WLFW framework for NOBO, grasslands and savannas. Ms. Costanzo presented on the content of the new framework document, the priority areas and conservation practice goals set by the 24 NRCS state offices, and responses received from the needs assessment survey. Ms. McGuire presented on staffing and monitoring plans associated with launching this framework.

Grazing Gone Native: Producer Drexel Atkisson talks about role of NWSFs in his grazing system in dealing with drought.
