Project Background
A new online Habitat Assessment Technical Bird Resource Tool will be
created for NRCS conservation planners and farmers across the country that increases onfarm habitat and assists with supporting birds in decline. The Tool will prioritize conservation practices and identify native plant species that are preferred by beneficial birds who provide pest control. User research, dataset development, field testing and monitoring will be conducted; field days will be hosted and webinars given; and a promotional educational video and case studies will be developed.
