Webinar on Wiregrass Restoration and Management

It's been almost two years since we sowed the wiregrass in our restoration field. What's the scoop?

Chris Kinslow (St. John's Water Management District, FL), Rae Crandall, and Jen Fill presented a summary and update on their collaboration during a webinar hosted by the Southern Fire Exchange. They covered topics ranging from site preparation options to research results on wiregrass seedling rates vs. seed quality. Would you like to hear about their latest restoration field surprise? The recorded webinar is for you!

We refer to a couple of useful restoration guides and publications during the webinar. Most of them are linked under the video on YouTube. Here are a couple of additional resources:
