FW 557 - Wildlife Habitat Management on Private Land

  • 3 credits

Over two-thirds of the United States land base is privately owned, and a large proportion of threatened or endangered species utilize habitats on private lands. Learn how private land stewards can and do contribute to conservation, benefit landscapes, enhance wildlife populations, and provide access, while also producing the food and fiber on which we depend. Construct a comprehensive habitat management plan for a specific privately-held ecosystem that includes opportunities such as raising livestock, growing crops, providing for fish and wildlife, and recreation.
