Management

Beneficial Management Practices:

Grassland - other (specify in comments)
Grassland - prescribed/controlled burning
Grassland - haying/mowing
Grassland - maintain habitat diversity

Beneficial Management References: 005

Adverse Managment Practices:

Grassland - other (specify in comments)
Grassland - uncontrolled grazing of domestic livestock

Adverse Management References: 005

Comments on Management:
Beneficial to maintain diverse upland prairie through burning or haying at various times of the year *05*. overgrazing, lack of prescribed fire, failure to maintain diversity, and prevention of seed production by burning, haying or grazing prior to fruit maturity are detrimental *05*.
