This book was released on 1986 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A management techniques report on brush piles is provided as Section 5.3.1 of the US Army Corps of Engineers Wildlife Resources Management Manual. The report was prepared as a guide to assist Corps biologists and resource managers in developing habitat management programs for project lands. Topics covered for brush structures include wildlife value, cautions and limitations. The provision of adequate resting and escape cover is critical to proper management of ground-nesting birds, rabbits, and other small game. Although living brush is preferred in most situations, artificial structures can be built to provide immediate shelter where natural cover is limited. Guidelines are presented for the design, construction, maintenance, and proper placement of brush piles for a variety of wildlife species. Management for the northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) and cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus spp.) is emphasized. Brush piles are recommended for use in conjunction with other habitat management practices designed to improve food, cover, and water.

The sunflower is known to provide food and cover for a variety of wildlife species, especially nongame birds. The species is also used for soil stabilization an site reclamation, and the showy yellow flowers make it popular for landscaping. Two cultivars are presently available for use in conservation plantings. The species grows best on medium sandy to clayey loams on sites that receive more than 14 in. (36 cm) of annual precipitation. Plants are tolerant of fire and moderately tolerant of drought and shade, but are unable to withstand saline soils and heavy grazing. Established plants are highly competitive unless management practices are employed to reduce their vigor.
