WEST PLAINS, Mo. - The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC), along with Quail Forever and Pheasants Forever, invite landowners to a free discussion and field trip focused on warm-season grass establishment from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Nov. 22 at the University of Missouri extension office in Howell County.
Registration is required and can be completed online at events.pheasantsforever.org. Lunch will be provided.
Native warm-season grasses have deep root systems which make more efficient use of water and soil nutrients. They can grow and thrive during the summer when cool-season grasses cannot, and they tend to need less fertilizer and lime than cool-season grasses.
This one-day workshop will discuss the benefits and economics of establishing warm-season grasses, establishment techniques, how to manage these grasses, and programs available for adding warm-season grasses to your property.
The workshop location is 1376 Bill Virdon Blvd. in West Plains.
Questions about this workshop can be directed to Nate Case at [email protected]or Tanner Patton at [email protected]with Pheasants Forever.
