The Rangeland, Wildlife, and Fisheries Management (RWFM) Stewardship Series is a monthly webinar series every month at 12 noon. Experts within the field are asked to present on relevant topics surrounding rangeland, wildlife, and fisheries management to deliver the most up to date information directly to our viewers. Our end goal is to have viewers leaving each webinar with science-based information to help them become better stewards on both their land and surrounding landscapes.

Stop and Stay Awhile: Building Habitat to Benefit Migratory Birds

The migratory journeys made by many species of birds are the energetic equivalent of running many consecutive marathons. Unlike a human running a marathon, though, birds can’t stock up on protein bars to eat along the way! In this webinar, we will discuss different types of bird migration and how you can manage your land (or even your backyard!) to help birds make a successful journey. Take-away lessons will include:

• How to evaluate your space and choose target species

• How to improve the food, water, and shelter that your space provides

• Where to learn more about the amazing birds that benefit from your hard work

RSVP to 979-542-2753, by noon on Wednesday, July 10.
