Preservation of Buffalo Cove

Establish Warm Season Grass Habitat

Around 1830, the British introduced Fescue to the United States Farmers. Fescue is a “carpet” or thicker interwoven grass than the native “clump” type grasses, and is a dominant species. Re-establishing the native habitat will increase the dove, quail, grouse, wild turkey, and other bird populations. All species will benefit from the increased cover and camouflage provided by the native grasses. T.W.R.A. will provide herbicides, sprayer, and seed to transition the fields. They also provide a small amount of money yearly to maintain the habitat.
