URWA WHIP Project Update
As
part of Upper Raritan Watershed
Association’s participation in WHIP (Wildlife
Habitat Incentives Program), two fields were re-seeded for native
meadow species. A three-acre field behind the barn was seeded with a
warm-season grass mix, and a smaller area near the garden was seeded
with native wildflowers and grasses to create an informal butterfly
meadow. Areas of native meadow are becoming increasingly rare, and the
species that inhabit them such as grassland birds, butterflies and
dragonflies will benefit from these newly restored areas. From: Headwaters A Publication of the Upper Raritan Watershed Association
