The CP 33 Buffer Program
I was told this morning that I might be spending a little too much
time chasing birds and not enough time “blogging” about chasing
birds…….(Hey, Rob!)
I really wanted to be in Texas this week but a few business things and
family things kept me home. I took time to run up to a hunting lease
in North Mississippi that I have been on for the last couple of years.
This particular lease is going under a major habitat restoration for
quail using the Conservation Reserve Program: CP33-Habitat Buffers for
Upland Birds. CP 33 is a field boarder program that creates upland
bird habitat using the marginal areas around crop fields.

CP33 buffers are 30- to 120-foot buffers established in native warm-season grasses on row crop fields. Incentives, annual rental rates, and cost-shares are paid to the land owner for enrollment in this Conservation Reserve Program (CRP.)
CP 33 may be the only hope for the return of huntable quail
populations on private land in the Southeastern states.
Buffers are good for farmers, land owners, all wildlife (not just ground nesting birds) and the environment.
Thanks,
