Workshop in Independence designed to help acreage owners manage for wildlife
Kansas City, Mo. – Wildlife and native plants can thrive on small acreages given nurturing management practices. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will offer a free Conservation Management Workshop 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 23, at the Bass Pro Shops, 18001 Bass Pro Drive in Independence.
MDC staff will discuss topics such as native plants useful for wildlife and landscaping, timber stand improvement, and reducing problems from invasive species.
“We’ll talk about what trees to plant and what not to plant for wildlife,” said Andy Carmack, MDC private land conservationist. “We’ll talk about improvements they can make for quail and other wildlife.”
The workshop is useful for anyone interested in wildlife-friendly practices. However, the
topics covered will be especially useful to acreage owners in suburban or rural settings, Carmack said.
Advance registration for the workshop is requested. To register or for more information, call816-228-3766.
