Project Description
Borderlands Restoration Network was awarded $12,650 to support grassland and oak-woodland restoration on 100 acres of the Borderlands Wildlife Preserve in southeastern Arizona through hydrological improvements, and seeding to enhance habitat for Montezuma Quail. At least 75 rock dams will be constructed and seeded with seed pellets to repair gully cuts, increase sedimentation and accumulation of organic matter, and increase establishment of food plants for Montezuma Quail and other species. The impact of this work will be magnified through field-day events to encourage private landowners to adopt these methods for quail habitat restoration.
