| EDUCATION & OUTREACH |
Sharing with landowners how to become better stewards of the Bay in their own backyard CWH’s Education and Outreach program provides landowners, businesses, schools, civic and community groups and other interested groups with information about the variety of local wildlife and wildlife habitat. Most of the education that Chesapeake Wildlife Heritage does occurs on a one-on-one basis during a site visit to a landowner’s property where a habitat specialist can discuss the many possibilities of suitable habitat improvements for a specific site with the landowner. Once the interests of the landowner are determined and the property is surveyed, a management plan is developed and CWH works with the landowner to implement the plan. Guided tours of CWH’s Bennett Point Wildlife Area in Queenstown, Barnstable Hill Farm on Kent Island and/or other significant habitat restoration sites are often the most effective ways to help landowners understand how and why CWH restoration projects work. Seeing Northern Pintail on a restored wetland or Bobwhite Quail in a warm season grass meadow perfectly illustrates the benefits and how critical our work is for wildlife. In addition to site visits in 2005, CWH’s Education and Outreach program continued bird use survey work on established warm season grass meadows. We held a Monarch Tagging workshop in the fall and provided lectures to numerous homeowner’s associations, special interest groups and garden clubs on topics such as warm season grass meadows, backyard habitat, bluebirds and butterfly gardening. |
