Learn about the efforts of the Ruffed Grouse Society to create and expand early successional forests for the benefit of ruffed grouse and American woodcock across Maryland.
The afternoon will cover projects all over the state from West to East. Come and learn about the projects and the planning and financing of these projects. Grouse and woodcock hunters can get some great leads on present and future hunting spots. Don’t forget that these projects benefit a whole suite of wildlife – not just grouse and woodcock. Deer hunters and birders take note!
Presenters will include Dr. Linda Ordiway, regional biologist for the RGS; Bill Harvey and Bob Long from the Maryland DNR; and Tom Mathews, from the Wildlife Management Institute. There will be time to talk to individual presenters afterwards. Snacks and drinks will be provided by the Potomac Valley chapter of RGS. Open to all RGS members and the general public. Admission is free.
