The public is invited to join MassWildlife habitat management biologists at the Herman Covey Wildlife Management Area from 3 to 5 p.m. to see how MassWildlife plans to begin habitat restoration and management on approximately 100 acres at the Herman Covey WMA.
Planned wildlife habitat management activities including tree clearing, mowing, and prescribed fire will be taking place to benefit both rare and common wildlife.
Participants should meet at the MassWildlife kiosk near the fish hatchery on 90 East Street, Belchertown promptly at 3 p.m. This is a rain or shine event; dress for the weather and wear sturdy footgear. Walking will be easy to moderate and on wood roads and foot paths. Bring a camera or binoculars if you have them!
Landowners interested in managing their own property for wildlife may find this habitat walk particularly useful.
Directions: From east or west on Rte. 202 in Belchertown, turn on to East Street and drive 1/2 mile to the kiosk on the right of the street (opposite side of the street from the hatchery).
