Prairie Strips and Conservation on Rented Ground – Management & Prescribed Fire – Virtual Field Day
By Jason Tetrick
Prairie strips are a practice that more farmers and landowners are using to reintegrate prairie into Iowa’s agricultural landscape, providing numerous water quality and wildlife benefits in the process. Landowner Eric Hoien, Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation and the ISU STRIPS team present about designing, establishing and managing prairie strips and how to work with land tenants to achieve conservation goals.
In part 1 of this virtual event, landowner Eric Hoien and ISU STRIPS farmer liaison Tim Younquist discuss prairie strip management and prescribed fire. See pictures and videos from Eric’s recent prairie burn and learn more about how fire can be used by landowners to manage prairie strips.
