Beneficial Birds
As bird populations decline, so do the benefits they provide to thriving ecosystems — including pest control, pollination, and seed dispersal. Farms are one of the places where such perks are crucial, and a new online resource from Wild Farm Alliance (WFA) helps farmers increase their bird benefits by building bird-friendly habitats.
“Benefits of Birds on the Farm” is based on information in WFA’s booklet, which, according to co-author Jo Ann Baumgartner, had never before been compiled into an easily accessible resource for farmers.
