Workshop topics

Each workshop session is designed to guide homeowners and landowners through the process of establishing wildlife habitat on properties of varying sizes, said Chase Brooke, AgriLife Extension small acreage wildlife program specialist in the Texas A&M Department of Rangeland, Wildlife and Fisheries Management.

“From small urban pollinator gardens to rural homesteads and working lands, this series will focus on identifying which species can be appropriately managed on your property,” Brooke said.

Specific topics include:

  • Introduction to wildlife management.
  • Land resource inventory and habitat suitability assessments.
  • Wildlife species management suitable for your property size.
  • Scale-appropriate wildlife management practices.
  • Building wildlife management plans and communities of conservation.
