Landowners can help a variety of birds to thrive by enhancing areas of habitat on their property. PEC recently paired with American Bird Conservancy to produce a guide called "Managing Land in the Piedmont of Virginia for the Benefit of Birds and Other Wildlife." This free, full-color booklet is available from PEC (to obtain a hard copy, please call 540-347-2334) and considers six different kinds of habitats used by birds: agricultural land, grasslands, shrublands, forests, wetlands and developed areas. If you have any questions about conservation of bird habitat, please call Maggie MacQuilliam at 540-347-2334 ext. 29.
