Why Pollination is Critical to Wildlife’s Winter Food Supply

This week’s Habitat Tip brings a different perspective on why pollinators are so important and a part of Pheasant Forever’s strategic plan. We all now understand that great pheasant and quail habitat equals great pollinator habitat, but have you stopped to think about how important pollinators are in ‘stocking the shelves’ for wildlife food resources in late fall and winter?

This tip lays the ground work for discussions about why having healthy, growing honey bee and native pollinator populations will help to produce abundant food resources for pheasants and quail this winter.
