Thursday, May 16
10–11:30 a.m.
Join biologist Dan Small, Associate Director of Natural Lands Stewardship at Washington College's Center for Environment & Society, for a talk about early successional habitat and the importance of creating a network of habitat while maintaining a working landscape. The Natural Lands Project (NLP) was created in 2015 with the goal of reversing declining wildlife populations, most notably Northern Bobwhite, while improving water quality within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. NLP works with landowners, both private and public, who are interested in creating a balance on their properties between wildlife habitat and productive agriculture. There will be an optional meadow walk after the presentation.
Dan has over 20 years of experience in avian research and banding, habitat restoration and stewardship (specifically grasslands), and Northern Bobwhite monitoring and management.
