That line of trees on the edge of your field? It might just be saving a species.
Shelterbelts offer nesting spots for at-risk birds like the Loggerhead Shrike—Alberta’s own “butcher bird.”
Did you know shrikes help control insects and rodents too? Trees + birds = insect control—easy peasy.
The newly enhanced Habitat & Biodiversity Assessment Tool (HBAT) now includes data for 28 new species at risk, of 89 designated species found on agricultural land.
