Helping Grassland Birds on Agricultural Lands

• Tuesday, September 12, 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Grassland nesting bird species have been in rapid decline over the last half century including in New York State. Agricultural landscapes (pastures, hayfields) have historically and currently been important to grassland nesting birds in the Northeast. To be successful in encouraging management for nesting birds, the importance of agricultural income on these working landscapes needs to be recognized. For three years, the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society and the Finger Lakes Community College have been monitoring breeding grassland birds at the George B. Taylor Memorial Wildlife Marsh north of Honeoye, NY. The goal has been to provide input into the management of a field that is harvested for hay. An informal public meeting on-site is to discuss the results of the project is planned for 5:00 PM, September 12 (rain date, September 14).
