Quail require weeds and burning can help remove biomass and open seed pods, though burning is not a primary management tool. Predator control is not as important as quail are low on the food chain, as seen from an owl pellet. Services like forestry mulching are available to provide habitat management, as seen by before and after photos showing regrowth after mulching. Johnny houses and recall boxes also play an important role in quail habitat.

1. If you want quail you have to like weeds

2. Burning is good to remove
biomass, kills ticks, opens
certain seed pods and on
and on. We do some
burning but it is not one of
our primary tools.

3. Predator control is not the important issue in spite of what
you may hear although quail are at the bottom of the food
chain as you can see from this owl pellet.

5. We have a forestry mulcher
and are available to provide
this and other management
services.

8. Johnny houses and recall
boxes are a very important
part of the story
