"Birdland Buffer" -
Tall Grass/Wildflower Mix Upland habitat buffers are field borders planted around crop fields to provide food and cover for quail, pheasant and other wildlife. Grassland dependent bird species have suffered significant population declines due primarily to the loss of habitat. Adding more species of grasses and forbs (wildflowers) will increase population and variety of species. These mixes provide a food source for the baby chicks by drawing insects into the wildflowers, also feeding adult birds and other wildlife. |
