North Mountain Branch has its own equipment for use on their many habitatimprovement projects.

                  
This three year project, a clear cut, followed by an enclosure has nearly 200 man-hours of work put in by North Mountain Branch members.

North Mountain habitat project crews are some of the most dedicated individuals to improving habitat on both their own grounds and public grounds as well.

Better get in line!  Attendees at a field day fill their plates with good food in between educational seminars.

The use of mineral supplements as a tool to increase the health of local deer is important for a well rounded QDM program.

North Mountain’s habitat crews put in many man-hours each year to benefit the local wildlife.

Banquets such as this are essential parts of the branch’s yearly habitat projects and other worthwhile activities.

Food plots planted with high yield brassica are other projects the North Mountain branch works on every year.

Plots such as these planted on the Vosburg Neck property which is open to thepublic provides tons of palatable protein for deer and other species of wildlife.

Cutting browse during winter when deep snows hamper deer movement is important like this border cut.

Edge cuttings like this provide browse for deer, nesting areas for birds and small mammals and encourage growth on the edge of the opening.
