WISCONSIN - Your property could play host to protected birds and that's why the DNR and many bird conservation groups want your help. State land is regularly groomed for birds, but private land isn't. That's why the DNR and Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative want to teach you how to make your land livable for birds.
"A lot of times, bird species aren't using just public land, they're using private land as well," said DNR Wildlife Biologist Shelby Hiestand. So it's really a good way by reaching out to private landowners to reach out to areas that we normally would be able to do conservation on regularly."
The 2015 Wisconsin Bird Education Conference will be in Chippewa Falls March 19th through the 21st. Wildlife biologists from around the state will help you turn your land into a livable bird habitat. The meeting will focus on the golden-winged warbler and American woodcock among several others.
