Early successional habitat development/management involves manipulating a stand of plants to create and maintain early successional attributes that benefit desired wildlife and/or natural communities. This video explores how Becca Boyden implemented this conservation practice in Tamworth, New Hampshire. Practice benefits:
• Creates specialized wildlife habitat
• Increases resiliency in a landscape
• Creates biodiversity
• Mimics suppressed natural disasters
• Creates wildlife cover and forage areas
The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
