Birds of Coal Creek Farm

People who grew up in Tennessee in the 50’s and 60’s remember the call, Bob…White, Bob…White, as Bobwhite Quail were abundant. But, like other wildlife on the plateau and elsewhere, the population began to dwindle— because native grasses which provided habitat disappeared.

Coal Creek Farm is developing a protocol that will help restore native grasses and in doing so bring back native birds and more cost-effectively feed cattle. This controlled burn protocol is already demonstrating the possibilities.
