Wild Farm Alliance (WFA) and our partners are pleased to announce our fourth upcoming field day as part of our All Things Avian Series. 

If you want more help with pest control, consider supporting beneficial birds. Learn who these birds are, what they need, and how to provide for them. The overwhelming majority of songbirds are beneficial in the spring and early summer when they feed insects to their nestlings. We’ll also discuss the few bird species that can be pests and how manage them. 

We are bringing together farmers who use practices to support beneficial birds, avian researchers who have studied birds’ pest control benefits, and agricultural professionals and conservationists who work on farms. 

Come learn and exchange ideas, views and observations.
