EP. 315: Thinning Trees to Create Better Bobwhite Quail Habitat
Update: 2025-05-14
Description
Host Bob St.Pierre moderates a discussion with Quail Forever’s Louisiana State Coordinator Jackson Martini, Arkansas State Coordinator Ryan Parker, and landowner Andrew Wiesmann about improving bobwhite quail habitat in the Southeastern United States. The conversation covers how USDA Farm Bill programs can be used to burn or thin trees, decrease the basal area, and open up the forest canopy to promote grasslands beneficial to bobwhites.
Episode Highlights:
• Martini talks about the Arkansas-Louisiana Conservation Delivery Network and how that coalition is working together to implement the Open Pine Regional Conservation Partnership Program.
• Wiesman explains his love of wirehaired pointing griffons and waterfowl hunting with those dogs in Louisiana’s bayous. Bob then asks about the threat level for duck hunting with bird dogs where alligators live.
