Habitat seminar available online

University of Minnesota Extension will present a five-part webinar series this spring on how to create wildlife habitat on your property in Minnesota.

The workshop series will take place online 7-8:30 p.m. over five Monday consecutive nights starting March 20 and ending April 17. Each session will focus on a different aspect of wildlife habitat management, including different species groups and selecting a site, as well as the development, establishment and maintenance of habitat for those groups. This series is free for residents or landowners in St. Louis, Carlton, Pine, Isanti and Cook counties.

Residents from any other locations may register for the series for $100.

Topics covered over the course of this series will include creating habitat for pollinators, birds (including game birds, migratory birds, and raptors), mammals, amphibians, and aquatic species.
