Welcome back to the Vegetation Podcast Series with Land & Legacy. This podcast series will give you the leg up on all other land managers by learning the basics of each type of vegetation a true wildlife manager would need to know. In the first week of the series, we are going to be working through grasses. It is not uncommon for various types of grasses such as warm-season grasses to be glorified by wildlife managers across the country. Why is that? Are they right? Or will you find out that is just fluff?

To start the podcast, we break down the various categories grasses can be placed based upon their specific features, such as cool-season versus warm season, native versus non-native, and bunchgrass versus sod-forming grass. This gives information gives the ability to make the proper decisions moving forward on how to properly manage the grasses growing across the property. In addition, we highlight the food and cover value of grasses for animal species such as whitetail deer, turkey, and bobwhite quail.

If you want to learn more about how to properly manage land for wildlife game species, it starts with having a complex knowledge of what is growing on the land. We hope you will continue to follow along with the podcast series, next week, is all about forbs. #ForLoveoftheLand
