If one of your objectives with your CRP land is quail, rabbit, or pheasant habitat, then mark your calendars for 7 p.m. on Feb. 17, 2000, to attend a Managing CRP for Small Game workshop. The workshop will be held at the Gallatin Public Library.
Topics covered will include quail and rabbit biology and habitat needs, wildlife management practices for CRP, determining the quality of wildlife habitat on your land, and how to get started improving your CRP land for quail and rabbit. Speakers will include biologists from the Missouri Department of Conservation and the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Refreshments will be provided and free food plot seed will be available. The workshop is free and open to the public. Please RSVP to the Daviess County Soil & Water Conservation District (660) 663-3703 by Feb. 11, 2000.
Many landowners, as well as hunters, are concerned with the long-term decline in quail populations. Certain management techniques can be used to maintain CRP grass fields at an optimum condition for quail. Come learn what they are and what you can do to help bring back Bobwhite.
The workshop is sponsored by the Daviess County Soil & Water Conservation District, Missouri Department of Conservation, and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
