Rotating the grazing areas allow the grasses to grow back, provides cover for nesting birds, and puts more weight on the cattle by grazing them on established grasslands. The easements perpetually protects the grasslands from being plowed. Cattle is allowed to graze and haying can be done after July 15th when most birds have finished nesting. Low-quality cropland is planted with native grass species and a rotational grazing system is developed. In many areas with poor grassland cover, predators like fox and skunk have an unnatural advantage.
Predators eat or destroy the eggs and even eat the hens.
Placement of nesting structures that keep the birds and eggs safely away from predators. Construction of nesting islands and peninsula areas. Because water acts as a barrier to many predators, islands and peninsulas cut-offs with fencing from the mainland provide safe nesting areas. The Chase Lake Prairie Project includes a proposal for construction of a prairie wetlands interpretive center located at Medina, North Dakota. Spring of 1996 Behind these impressive statistics are over 750 agreements with private landowners, and the commitment of many individuals, organizations, and agencies dedicated to the Chase Lake Prairie Project.
