Join us for a morning of birding and learning! Start the day by participating in the Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation's annual bird walk event guided by members of the Tippecanoe Audubon Society. Following birding, we will hear from Adam DeLucenay (DNR, North Grasslands Biologist) about the Grasslands for Gamebirds and Songbirds Initiative. Afterwards, we will enjoy a picnic lunch (please pack a sack lunch if you would like to join in) and a meeting to elect board members and officers for the coming year. About the Grasslands for Gamebirds and Songbirds Initiative Would you like more quail on your property? Do you want to hear the calls of songbirds in your area? Are you concerned about water quality or pollinators? If so, consider joining the Grasslands for Gamebirds and Songbirds Initiative (GGS). The program provides technical and financial assistance to improve or develop grassland and pollinator-friendly habitats in selected regions in the state. Grasslands are declining across Indiana and throughout the nation. The 2015 Indiana State Wildlife Action Plan identified the percentage of grassland habitat loss as the largest habitat decline in Indiana. Many grassland bird populations are already showing significant decline. The loss of pollinating insects and the plants they depend are also a growing concern addressed by this program. Pollinators are important not only for wildlife, but for the health of human populations. Estimates suggest that one in three bites of food consumed worldwide are directly linked to pollination from floral/faunal relationships. Improving and expanding grasslands will increase populations of northern bobwhite, Henslow's sparrows, loggerhead shrike, ring-necked pheasants, and other grassland species.
