The Wisconsin Coverts Project 

In this annual workshop, woodland owners learn about actions they can take to enhance the abundance and diversity of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians on their land. Participants receive training from forestry and wildlife professionals in the classroom and in the field, and learn about programs and people ready to assist them with their stewardship goals.
