From The Woods Today - Native Plants in Your Woodlands

Native plants aren't just beautiful—they're essential to healthy forests and wildlife habitats. From supporting pollinators like bees and butterflies to improving soil and water quality, native plants play a critical role in our ecosystems. Join Eric Comley, Garrard County Extension Agent for 4-H Youth Development, as he highlights some of the native plants you're likely to find in your woods and explains why they matter.   Also on tap: Nick Wiram with Quail Forever, a national nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to the preservation and restoration of quail, pheasants, and other upland wildlife. He'll share insights on how habitat management and conservation practices can support quail across Kentucky. 7.1.26   For more episodes of From the Woods Today, visit https://forestry.mgcafe.uky.edu/woods-today
