Game Bird Program
The Game Bird Program’s mission is to conduct pragmatic research advancing the science of game birds, and transferring that science-based knowledge to general land use practitioners.
The hallmark of the Game Bird Program is long-term research with historical roots dating back to Herbert L. Stoddard’s seminal work on Northern Bobwhite and prescribed fire.
Our close-knit relationship with the Plantation Community keeps our work grounded in practical science, serving as a litmus test, sounding board, and conduit for adaptive resource management.
