1 Managing Habitats for Wildlife: Case Studies and Curiosities Scott Ruhren, Ph.D. Senior Director of Conservation Audubon Society of Rhode Island
2 Goals of today s projects? Protect and manage grasslands Restore grasslands Attract and support grassland species (Not mutually exclusive goals)
3 Underlying motivation? Protecting native biological diversity
4 Manage for species and habitats
5 Management & Restoration Strategies Inventory natural features and develop management plans Assess special attributes and challenges Steward properties appropriately Every project is unique
6 Ecological restoration? Rebuild what was there previously Repair and bring back to proper condition Create functioning system though not always matching the reference system Assist natural processes Mimic natural conditions
7 Reference systems?
8 Paths to successful restoration
9 Grassland Methods
10 Why grasslands?
11 Common Name Northern Harrier Upland Sandpiper Short-eared Owl Horned Lark Sedge Wren Bachman s Sparrow Vesper Sparrow Savannah Sparrow Grasshopper Sparrow Henslow s Sparrow Dickcissel Bobolink Eastern Meadowlark Scientific Name Circus cyaneus Bartramia longicauda Asio flammeus Eremophila alpestris Cistothorus platensis Aimophila aestivalis Pooecetes gramineus Passerculus sandwichensis Ammodramus savannarum Ammodramus henslowii Spiza americana Dolichonyx oryzivorus Sturnella magna
12 Some grassland management challenges Some birds like sparse veg. (horned larks) Some birds like patches of bare ground (grasshopper sparrows) Some like recent mowing or burning (horned larks and grasshopper sparrows) Some like no disturbance for several years (Henslow s sparrow) How do these compare to traditional pastures? This could require some balancing!
13 Area requirements? Density and diversity of birds and other species tend to increase with habitat area Ex. few grasshopper sparrows, bobolinks, or savannah sparrows are found in grasslands less than 75 acres (30 ha) Large areas can be managed as mosaics (not feasible on small patches) There is hope for eastern grassland birds because of the history of ephemeral habitats
14 General protocol for grassland birds Survey between late May and late June Survey between 0600 and 1000 hours Repeat on three nonconsecutive days Survey within 50 m radius circles Record: visual, singing, calling, flyover
15 Case Study: Fisherville Brook Wildlife Refuge Goals? Challenges? Targets?
16 Fisherville Brook WR Approx acres in Exeter Approx. 80 acres of grassland Protection of Queen River tributaries
17 Management & Restoration Strategies Inventory natural features and develop management plans Assess special attributes and challenges (the grasslands are special at Fisherville) Steward properties appropriately
18
19 Species recorded (birds) 51 species including: Eastern Meadowlark, Tree Swallow, Turkey, Savannah Sparrow, Eastern Goldfinch, American Kestrel, Field Sparrow, Eastern Kingbird, Red-tailed Hawk, Chipping Sparrow, Eastern Towhee, Red-shouldered Hawk, Prairie Warbler, Indigo Bunting
20 Species recorded cont. Mammals: deer, coyote, grey & red fox, rabbits, voles, white-footed and jumping mice, moles Herps : black racers, garter snakes, brown snakes, ring-necked snakes, box, snapper and painted turtles, tree frogs
21 Species recorded cont. 30+ butterfly species Monitored each summer for NA Butterfly Association counts
22
23 Managing grassland geometry
24 Fisherville bottom line? Keep your eyes open (you never know what will turn up) Avoid single species mentality Reevaluate objectives (it may not be appropriate to treat all fields the same)
25 Case Study: Lewis-Dickens Farm Approx. 120 acres on BI Approx. 100 acres of grassland Goals, challenges, targets?
26 Management & Restoration Strategies Inventory natural features and develop management plans Assess special attributes and challenges Steward properties appropriately *These come up with Lewis-Dickens
27 Lewis-Dickens Farm Unique challenges Logistical? Viewscapes? Other features?
28
29
30
31 Native Grazers vs. Cows Cows need water (more than bison) Cows need shade (more than bison)
32
33 Some L-D species Grasshopper and savannah sparrows? Barn owls nest nearby and hunt Harriers patrol here. One of the last pheasant hotspots? Bobwhite quail?
34
35 More Lewis-Dickens special species and special diet RI s largest collection of dung beetles on BI Includes some rhinoceros beetle species A new find
36
37 Case Study: Ethel M.C. Newman Wildlife Refuge Goals? Challenges? Targets?
38 Newman WR Approx. 202 acres of old farm and surrounding forest Approx. 20 acres of grassland Straddles Glocester and Smithfield line
39 Management & Restoration Strategies Inventory natural features and develop management plans Assess special attributes and challenges Steward properties appropriately
40
41
42 Ongoing monitoring
43 Some Newman species Assorted warblers, vireos, sparrows, flycatchers, grosbeaks etc. Woodcocks and turkey do well here (bobwhite?) A great butterfly spot
44 Bottom line? Keep your eyes open Avoid single species mentality
45 Overall evaluation? The infamous take-home
