In February 2021, NRCS requested that 30 state offices within the northern bobwhite current or historic range submit a final decision to National Headquarters on opting in or out of WLFW Northern bobwhite, Grasslands and Savannas. The decisions were completely voluntary and dependent on each states interest and ability to commit. These maps depict the distribution of states and their responses. Note that Oklahoma has now joined (and we need to updated this map)!

Using Native Warm-Season Grasses in a Grazing System
Participants will learn the latest research-supported methods for reliable native forage establishment and grazing management to maintain grass vigor and animal performance through the summer.
This training is being presented by The Center for Native Grasslands Management and NBCI through a grant provided by Quail Forever and the Natural Resources Conservation Service in support of the Working Lands For Wildlife: Bobwhite in Grasslands project.
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.
Registration:
No registration fee, but registration is required.
Please RSVP to jhodge34@utk.edu.
Lunch will be provided to participants.
