We are pleased to offer a workshop opportunity to forest landowners in Rhode Island to learn about and help create
much needed wildlife habitats on their property by becoming a Coverts Cooperator. We are seeking applicants to participate
in the 2018 Coverts Training Workshop. This project is made possible with funding from USDA-NRCS, RI DEM, and URI.
The RI Coverts Project is a training program designed to help forest landowners promote the development of critical wildlife habitats
using sound forest management practices that can make wildlife healthier, more diverse, and abundant.
