Wildlife is essential for a good farm

Wildlife abundance is a sign of a farm becoming a part of the ecosystems around it and supporting rather than destroying the Earth's  biodiversity

At Summer Roads Farm we see an increase of wildlife on land we manage.  

  1. We can't walk through the land we manage without seeing wildlife.

  2. There is diversity of mammals(15+ species), birds (80+species), reptiles(3+species), amphibians(6+species), and insects and bugs (many many species).

  3. We participate in monitoring projects to identify and assess wildlife populations on the land we farm.

  4. Our soil, water, pasture, and livestock management all create habitat for wildlife to move into and create homes.

To identify a farm that is good for wildlife, walk through it, there should be evidence of wildlife no matter the season.  

For full details about how we manage wildlife on our farm please sign up for our video series on our farms fundamentals.
