Hosted by the NRCS Biology Webinar Series, this presentation explores the intersection of agricultural land management and grassland bird conservation in the northeastern U.S. Led by Dr. Allan Strong of the University of Vermont’s Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, this session dives into over two decades of collaborative research on Bobolinks, Savannah Sparrows, and bird-friendly farming practices.
Drawing on long-term studies conducted in Vermont’s Champlain Valley, Dr. Strong shares key findings on how specific hayland and pastureland management strategies can support both biodiversity and farm profitability. Attendees will gain insights into the science behind sustainable agriculture, learn about practical approaches to integrating conservation goals into working lands, and hear about the collaborative efforts between researchers, landowners, and conservation agencies that are making a difference for both birds and rural communities.
