Upland Wildlife Habitat Management provides and manages upland habitats and connectivity within the landscape for wildlife. This video explores how Joe Crofts implements this conservation practice on his operation in Riverton, Wyoming.
Major benefits of this practice include:
• Enhances wildlife habitat
• Improves water quality
• Increases carbon sequestration
• Reduces erosion
• Increases grazing productivity
The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
