Bobolinks (shown above) and meadowlarks are two of the most charismatic and iconic species of our grasslands. They, along with other grassland species, have suffered the steepest losses of North American birds in recent decades.

PARIS — Join Ag Allies Manager Laura Suomi-Lecker in Paris on Thursday, April 10, from 4-5 p.m. for ‘Grassland Habitat: Helping Birds & Other Wildlife,’ a presentation about grassland wildlife and the ways we can support them, hosted by Oxford County Soil & Water Conservation District.

Bobolinks and meadowlarks are two of the most charismatic and iconic species of our grasslands. They, along with other grassland species, have suffered the steepest losses of North American birds in recent decades, facing threats on several fronts simultaneously, and thus they need all the conservation help we can give them.

In this presentation, we will cover Maine’s grassland-dependent bird species and their conservation, as well as best management practices to provide and improve your lawn and field habitat for birds and other wildlife!

This event is free! Please register by visiting our website at oxfordcountyswcd.org/workshops.

We will gather in the meeting space of the Oxford County Cooperative Extension, located at 9 Olson Road in Paris. Please register no later than Wednesday, April 9.
