Wildlife habitat plantings establish wildlife habitat by planting herbaceous vegetation or shrubs. This video explores how Cathy and Tony Mayhew implemented this conservation practice on their farm in Charlotte Hall, Maryland.
Practice benefits:
• Increase native plant community
• Improves wildlife habitat for targeted species
• Restores degraded habitat
• Reduces erosion
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.
