Marci Hess bands a kestrel from one of several successful nesting boxes on her prairie.
Women are the superhero allies of prairies, as we understand the importance of championing a healthy, diverse ecosystem on our land. We very much enjoyed learning more about Prairie Habitat at the first Summer Camp Zoom of 2022.
Marci Hess, landowner and author of Driftless Prairies blog, kicked off the Zoom by telling her experience of stewarding multiple prairies and remnants on her rural Lafayette County property. Britta Peterson, farm bill biologist with Pheasants Forever Wisconsin, followed up with technical advice and a survey of cost share programs available through NRCS and other agencies.
