389: After Multiple Years Of Habitat Work, These 3 Things Worked The Best with Jake Bollinger
About this episode
In this episode, Jared Van Hees and guest Jake Bollinger discuss effective habitat improvement techniques on Jake's farm.
Habitat Podcast #389 - In today’s episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Jake Bollinger! We discuss: Jake's 82-acre farm is transitioning from ag production to habitat. Miscanthus screens are being used to create visual barriers. Hybrid willows are helping create bedding and screening cover. Switchgrass has been the highest-impact habitat improvement. Air-pruning beds produce stronger root systems for trees. Jake grows oaks, chestnuts, persimmons, and shrubs from seed. He uses habitat corridors to direct deer movement. EHD killed dozens of deer on and around his property. Hinge cutting sometimes created bedding where he wanted travel. The long-term goal is creating a complete deer sanctuary. And So Much More!
