With a focus on monarchs in the southeastern U.S. and NRCS conservation planning, learn about key considerations for establishing and managing monarch habitat using Farm Bill programs.
This third webinar in a three part series focused on monarchs in the Southeast is designed for NRCS conservation planners, farmers, and partners. Participants will learn some nuances of Farm Bill programs for monarch conservation, about Wildlife Habitat Evaluation Guides for monarch conservation c/o http://nrcs.usda.gov/monarchs, and considerations for seed mix design, site preparation, planting, short-term maintenance, and long-term habitat management using disturbances such as fire, grazing and mowing. Two earlier webinars highlighted monarch biology and habitat needs in the Southeast. View the replay of Part 1 for monarch biology basics (food requirements, natural enemies, migration, etc.), their status (how monarch populations are doing), and (very briefly) how diverse NRCS practices support monarchs, other wildlife, and farm production. View Part 2 for more on southeastern milkweeds for larvae and nectar plants for adults, and field research conducted in coastal South Carolina by SCDNR biologist Billy McCord.
