Episode Description from the Publisher

In todays episode, we explore the third pillar of waterfowl management: Mowing. Learn why habitat structure matters, how mowing and disturbance influence wetland productivity, and how intentional vegetation management can improve access, security, and overall habitat use for waterfowl.Successful wetlands require more than food and water, they require the right structure. By creating a balance between open water and vegetation through mowing, managers can build functional, resilient habitats that support waterfowl throughout migration and the hunting season.Want to watch the episode ad free, & learn more in depth information on Annual Wetland Planning, Drawdowns, Invasive Species, Spring Habitat & MORE?
