New Plan Guides Conservation Action On America’s Central And Eastern Grasslands And Savannas
The Northern Bobwhite, Grasslands, and Savannas: A Framework for Conservation Action, outlines how USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will work with agricultural producers and partners like Quail Forever to increase adoption of targeted conservation practices that are good for farmers, ranchers, the bobwhite and natural resources.
The framework is a 2022 publication by NRCS capturing a long-term, large landscape conservation plan to recover central and eastern grasslands for northern bobwhite and other wildlife species. To support the win-win approach of WLFW, this framework also includes anticipated outcomes for risk management and revenue enhancements for the agricultural/ forestry operations, as well as measured outcomes for greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation.
