Hand in Hand
Quail and pollinators have a lot of the same habitat needs. Almost every thing we do for quail habitat benefits our native pollinators and vice versa! We quail guys here at the Department are pretty excited about the upcoming National Pollinator Week, which starts June 17.
The Department and a number of our partners with be holding special events around the state to educate landowners about pollinators and how to get more of them and quail, too.
Our partner Quail Forever will be hosting three pollinator workshops:
Workshop Topics:
- The Importance of Pollinators
- What IS Pollinator Habitat?
- Managing Pollinator Habitat
- Great Pollinator Habitat = Great Wildlife Habitat
-
High Diversity ≠Expensive Seed Mixes
