At two of the sites, seed mixes were planted in varying proportions of grasses to wildflowers, while a third control site was left fallow for comparison. The Wet Meadow Trial is taking place in a partially vegetated wetland corridor.

These plants develop a permanent root system, anchoring them in place and preventing them from being blown away by winds or washed away during extreme weather events. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/NewEnglandAster-2-267x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22723\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/NewEnglandAster-2-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/NewEnglandAster-2.jpg 340w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><figcaption><em>New England Aster, one of the plants in the wildflower-rich Native Meadow Seed Mix<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wildflower and grass meadows also provide habitats for beneficial insects and grassland birds. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More broadly, the presence of meadows can enhance the relationship between cropland and the surrounding environment and improve agriculture production.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the course of the trials, the research team will record management actions such as mowing, and will periodically measure the conditions of the soil. Plants will be evaluated to see which species thrive and which struggle in certain conditions, and the presence of insects will be monitored to determine which seed mix attracts the most pollinators and pest predators.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avian activity will also be looked at by the team. With proper management, larger grow outs of these native meadows can create the proper structure for nesting by grassland breeding birds whose numbers are in decline. These include the Eastern Meadowlark, Bobolink, and Grasshopper Sparrow. In addition, a planted native meadow can provide habitat to birds during migration and a winter home for protected species such as Northern Harrier and Short-eared Owl.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the latest report on the Native Meadow Trial click <a href=\"https:\/\/hvfarmscape.org\/sites\/default\/files\/bugs_flowers_farms_july_draft.pdf\">aqu\u00ed<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ecological farming methods such as the use of cover crops can provide habitat for beneficial&nbsp;insects and birds while restoring soil health.
