The bobwhite quail population has a fighting chance now to
come back strong in rural Georgia. To learn how you
can help quail survive and thrive, attend the Wolf Creek Quail
Management Field Day Oct. 5 near Ashburn, Ga.
In the Wolf Creek Project (www.bugwood.cae
s.uga.edu/wolfcreek/),
researchers study the effects of intensive farming on insect and
quail populations. The
project is a collaborative effort between two University of
Georgia schools, the College
of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the Warnell School
of Forest Resources.
The field day starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. To register,
or for more information or directions, call (912)
386-3416.
