Ecostudies Institute recently hosted a webinar titled “Grazing for Grassland Birds”. We had a great discussion about the plight of grassland birds, especially the Oregon vesper sparrow, and provided some examples of sites where the sparrow is persisting thanks to rotational grazing. We heard from a panel of partners who can provide technical and financial assistance, and had a great discussion with partners from throughout the Willamette Valley and Puget Sound. The webinar can be found on YouTube, and join us in May for the second event in the series.
The Cascadia Prairie-Oak Partnership (CPOP) is a community of people and organizations that are involved in prairie-oak conservation and species recovery efforts in western Cascadia. CPOP strives to improve outcomes by facilitating increased collaboration, idea sharing and information transfer among the CPOP community.
CPOP is coordinated by Ecostudies Institute. For more information, email CPOP [at] cascadiaprairieoak.org.
CPOP promotes prairie and oak conservation from British Columbia to northwest California, including the WPG ecoregion pictured below.
With over 700 members, the CPOP ListServ is a great place to discuss best management practices, share newsletters and publications, and learn about upcoming conferences and workshops.
