Thickets and dense underbrush provide nesting habitats for migra

Avalon - Thickets and dense underbrush provide nesting habitats for migrating and resident herons and other shorebirds who lay their eggs on the ground, not in trees. While native trees are vital to the environment, they do not offer the nesting conditions necessary in a wildlife refuge. Dense brush keeps predators and people out and encourages birds to nest. Removal of native vines and dense vegetation in the Armacost wildlife refuge was a bad idea. Stop further habitat demolition now.
