Fillmore SWCD Forestry Field Day: Habitat Happens Here

Habitat Happens Here – Decades of habitat restoration and wildlife management. Held rain or shine – dress accordingly. Come join us for a public field day highlighting 30+ years of land stewardship, wildlife habitat, and native restoration. Features include extensive buckthorn removal, cedar hillside clearing, and native re-establishment efforts.

Learn about hardwood establishment through both seedling plantings and direct seeding, herbicide use and best practices, prescribed burning for savanna restoration, and conservation programs.

The site supports abundant wildlife—including pheasants, deer, turkeys, and bluebirds—thanks to diverse food plots, pollinator habitat, and intentional habitat improvements. The tour will also showcase bee hives, seed collection for native plants, and other unique side projects. Ideal for landowners, hunters, and anyone interested in forestry, wildlife, and conservation.
