Connecting Wildlife Areas with CRP

 
Norman and Sandra Windt, of Marshall County, KY, combined the use of three CRP wildlife practices to enhance wildlife, while retiring their agricultural land in October 1999. The Windts combined CRP practices CP-2 (native grass planting), CP-12 (wildlife food plot); and CP-4B (wildlife corridor) on their 16.4 acres of CRP located in southwest Marshall County.

 
The CRP contract area lies near woodlands and a creek. The establishment of native grasses, legumes, and forbs on the majority of the contract provides wildlife natural protection to live and breed. Adding the food plots allows wildlife the opportunity to feed in their natural habitat and to avoid wildlife wandering into unsafe territory, such as highways and urban areas.

 
The establishment of the wildlife corridor is perhaps the best addition to this particular CRP contract. The corridor uses trees and native grasses to connect two existing wildlife areas that are not currently connected by a suitable corridor. Wildlife is abundant in and around this area of Marshall County.

 

 
CRP Permanent Wildlife Habitat Corridor connects two wildlife areas.
