Ohio Birders- Sorry about the long delay, but I've been out of the office. I wanted to follow up on Greg Spahr's note from 22 June about management practices at the Huffman Prairie at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where mowing was done on the prairie before the safe dates. The Nature Conservancy has not been involved with the management of the Huffman Prairie since 2003. Any decisions regarding the ecological management are now made by the National Park Service and the base. Any management being done there now is done without The Nature Conservancy's advisement or endorsement. It is unfortunate that land management practices were done that impacted at-risk species. I hope that this was an aberration.
