Role of Birds on Midwest Farms Webinar Course
Sep 23 - Dec 02 | Online | Wild Farm Alliance | Free
This 10-lesson virtual course teaches agricultural professionals and farmers how to support beneficial birds and manage pest birds on farms. By learning how to assess the farm’s avian needs and opportunities, farms can be designed to provide for a diversity of beneficial birds. If pest birds are a problem, they can be discouraged with specific practices during the shorter periods when they cause damage. The sessions cover the latest research, tools and resources, and are given by experts in avian pest control, entomology, ornithology and conservation. While many topics and species are specific to the Midwest, most of the principles discussed are applicable across regions.
Continuing Education Credits have been requested and are expected to be approved from American Society of Agronomy.
Also, be sure to download our free Nesting Structures for Beneficial Songbirds on Midwest Farms publication. It provides guidance on installing and maintaining nesting structures for beneficial songbirds on farms.
