Late Winter Habitat Field Day
Late winter in the outdoors can be a difficult time for wildlife especially if the snow is deep, the ground is coated in ice or it is extremely cold. Animals use up their reserves of fat at a faster rate when the aforementioned conditons exist. This time of year is when outdoorsmen/women, landowners, and habitat managers can help out wildlife while improving the habitat conditions and the health of existing wild/ semi wild apple trees.
The Susquehanna Branch the Quality Deer Management Association will be providing a free opportunity to learn about and participate in an apple tree pruning and daylighting mini field day.
Members of the QDMA Branch and the Club will talk about, demonstrate and then help attendees prune, daylight the apple trees (clear the area around the trees) and build brush piles (winter habitat for birds and small mammals). Learn whether to, how much to and when to put down lime and ferrtilizer around the trees.This will all take place on Saturday morning March 6th, from 9 to 11 am.
Adults and children are encouraged to come on out in the outdoors to the well managed wildlife and small farm property of Matt and Denise Sellers.
Their property is located about two to three miles southeast of South Montrose on the Meshoppen Creek Road.
