Learn about the impact of Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) implementation on Enable Midstream’s pipeline right-of-way to create monarch and pollinator habitat in the Blue Mountain area, Arkansas from 2013-2019. This webinar was recorded for Day 2 of the 2020 Arkansas Monarch and Pollinator Forum that was held Nov. 10th. Connie Oslica is the North Division Sr. Operations Director for Enabl...

This presentation will cover the steps of pollinator habitat establishment from site selection and site preparation through planting and management. There were a lot of questions from the audience, so we added an extended Q&A portion to the end of the 30 minute presentation. This webinar was recorded for Day 2 of the Arkansas Monarch and Pollinator Forum that was held Nov. 10th. Ryan Diener is ...

Arkansas boasts millions of forested acres with diverse plant and animal populations that can be managed for a variety of purposes. So, how do forestry management practices relate to quality pollinator habitat? Can we have healthy forests and provide nectar resources for pollinators? This presentation will dive into how we guide management decisions and practices for modern land managers when p...

Grazing lands across Arkansas are largely comprised of nonnative pasture grasses like KY-31 Tall Fescue, Bermuda grass, Bahia grass, and nonnative legumes like Red and White Clover. These pastures are often monocultures of a single species and lack the plant diversity necessary to meet food, cover, and nesting requirements for grassland birds, small mammals, and pollinating insects. Landowners ...

Fire created and maintains grassland ecosystems around the world, with the patterns and processes in these ecosystems maintained by fire-driven grazing - an ecological process called pyric herbivory. Pyric herbivory creates a patchwork of habitat types across space and time at local, regional, and continental scales, with each patch in a different state of post fire and grazing recovery. This d...

Most researchers assume cattle avoid milkweeds due to toxic compounds. However, past observations suggest that cattle regularly graze common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), the most important summer host plant for monarch butterflies, and also graze showy milkweed (Asclepias speciosa). This presentation covers the findings from a recent study in Nebraska for grazing management and milkweed. This ...

The Habitat Subcommittee of the Arkansas Monarch Conservation Partnership is launching a suite of Best Management Practices for Pollinator Habitat Establishment, Management on Forested Land, Row Crops, Rights-of-Way, and Pastures and Hay Meadows. The speakers give a brief introduction to these documents that will be available on our website. This webinar was recorded for Day 2 of the 2020 Arkan...
