Feathery marsh grass found at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge #190829915
Description
Grasslands provide critical habitat to migratory birds and other wildlife. Whether providing a place to nest for mallards and bobolink, or feeding grounds for hawks and fox, grasslands are critical to Montezuma. To prevent the encroachment of woody plants and undesirable species, refuge staff and partners use prescribed burning, periodic mowing, and the planting of desirable grass and wildflower seed mixes. Shrublands are dominated by small trees and shrubs, and also include grasses and other plants. They offer important food and cover to a variety of wildlife.
