SUMMARY:Beneficial Birds: Rewilding our yards and orchards to control pests  - A Virtual Interest Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to support raptors and other beneficial birds in fruit growing operations to manage pests. Ashley Chesser with Wild Farm Alliance and Dr. Catherine Lindell from Michigan State University will provide an overview about how and why to incorporate birds into the farm landscape and some specifics about the use of American Kestrel boxes. Participants will learn about the behavior and ecology of birds and their role in providing ecosystem services and disservices in agriculture landscapes. Dr. Lindell will share results of her team’s studies to investigate the value of attracting predatory American Kestrels with nest boxes in cherry orchards to diminish the number of fruit-eating birds. \nThe meeting will be held on ZOOM and by phone from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Central time. This virtual NAFEX Interest Group meeting is FREE with your $19 NAFEX membership. Find the ZOOM link and call-in numbers in your inbox or on our member Interest Group page.
