We are working with the Mushrush Ranch, the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, and the Nature Conservancy to find solutions for grassland bird conservation, prairie stream health, and habitat remediation that also meets the financial and logistical needs of ranchers in the Flint Hills. This is an experimental study that uses GPS-controlled collars to manipulate grazing. In 2022 we completed our pre-treatment year, and in spring 2023, the collars were turned on. Check out the poster that Katy Silber presented on this work in Feb 2023, or listen to the NPR story about our project from the early days. Since then, we have published our first manuscript and collected all but the last year of data. Importantly, we welcomed Theo Michaels as the post-doc to lead the team early in the spring of 2024. Additionally, in 2024, we convened a day-long event exploring the intersection of Art and Ecology.
