In this week's episode, we discuss what it takes to manage private property for ruffed grouse in Appalachia. We use Cody's property in Virginia, Rockin' Chair Ridge, as an example to illustrate the challenges, management practices, and successes he and his family have experienced in their land management journey. From communicating goals and objectives to family members, to contacting and implement NRCS plans and contracts, this episode is about unpacking the possibilities, options, and potential obstacles to consider when it comes to private land management and ruffed grouse.
