On June 18th 2009 from 3-8:00 PM the Bradford Research and Extension Center will host a Bobwhite Quail/Native Plant Field Day. This field day will consist of wagon tours that give participants an opportunity to see bobwhite quail management demonstrations and research in progress and to see how native plants can be used for conservation. Participants will also discover how native plants can be used for landscaping as well as to clean up water run off in rain gardens or provide seed and insects for birds. Native plants can also be used for bobwhite quail habitat and participants will get to see first hand how they can be incorporated in land use management such as edge feathering and native grass management. There will also be informational booths on native plants and quail management and the public will have an opportunity to purchase native plants.
