Topics to be covered:
Bobwhite basics, bobwhite habitat considerations in grazing lands
Overview of native warm-season grass (NWSG) establishment
Why use NWSG in your grazing system – animal performance and economics
How to manage NWSG forages – maintaining vigor and productivity, impact on bobwhite and other grassland birds
NWSG in complementary cool-season grass systems.

Fortunately for the West Virginia northern flying squirrel and the Cheat Mountain salamander, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is supported by a number of partners, through the Central Appalachian Spruce Restoration Initiative (CASRI), in efforts to protect and restore historic red spruce-northern hardwood ecosystems across the high elevation landscapes of central Appalachia. The CASRI is a partnership of diverse interests with a common goal of protecting the remaining red spruce stands and restore red spruce ecosystems where they have disappeared.
