Nothing beats hearing a rooster bobwhite whistle in the spring. Well, maybe a wild turkey.
This time of the year my attention turns to prescribed burning.
It may look like hay to you, but this is a prairie patch...a garden or backyard spot planted with native grass and flowers.
A free workshop on using prescribed burns to improve wildlife habitat and control unwanted vegetation will be offered from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on March 19 at the Pony Express Conservation Area headquarters south of Maysville.
Using fire to revitalize plant and animal communities, protect our resources and benefit livestock.
