November Zoom Meeting: “Managing Land for Wildlife Diversity”

Invited speaker Derrick Wolter will present “Managing Land for Wildlife Diversity” to HLBWS members and guests at approximately 10:30 a.m., following the business portion of HLBWS’s monthly Zoom meeting at 10:00 a.m..

Wildlife requires food, cover, water and space to survive. The specifics - such as the type of food or form of shelter - vary as a function of each species’ needs. Yet most of these needs are satisfied through native plants. The thoughtful use of land and its active management can benefit plants, wildlife, and people. This presentation will discuss how to manage land to promote both plant and wildlife diversity.

Derrick Wolter has worked as a biologist for Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for 22 years. He is currently the Senior Wildlife Biologist for a 14-county area in the eastern portion of the Edwards Plateau. He assists landowners with enhancing wildlife habitat on private lands in addition to mentoring and training district biologists within the Hill Country.
