WEST PLAINS, Mo. – Howell County residents are invited to speak with experts about boosting quail and grassland habitat at a cost share sign-up workshop.
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is teaming up with the National Bobwhite and Grassland Initiative Foundation to host a drop-in event from 5:30-8 p.m. Thursday, May 14, at University of Missouri Extension meeting room, 1376 Bill Virdon Boulevard in West Plains.
“This is for Howell County landowners wanting better wildlife habitat — especially quail — and cattle operations wanting native warm season grass that is good cattle forage and good for wildlife,” said Private Lands Conservationist Mark McLain.
MDC’s Community Conservation Cost-Share Program promotes sustainable development practices and the establishment of natural resource conservation practices in municipal and developing areas.
