“The reason for greater success 
is simple,’ Joselyn points out. 
Pheasants simply build more nests 
in the pilot area as opposed to the 
untreated area. There will be just 
as much success in pulling off a 
brood in untreated areas as there 
is in the pilot areas, but with more 
nests there will be more successful 
hatchings.”’ 
With demonstration that this pro- 
gram will increase the number of 
pheasants in a given area, the de- 
partment is ordering other block 
plantings. Some are being made 
along areas in which ditches are 
being regraded by road commis- 
sioners. 
“The benefits of the plan involve 
more than just pheasant,” accord- 
ing to Joselyn. “Other bird and 
wildlife species, such as the Red- 
winged Blackbird, Bobolink, Dick- 
cissel and others, were affected as 
much because of the decline of 
hayfield-type cover. These plant- 
ings have helped them as well.” 
The cooperation the Natural His- 
tory Survey and Department of 
Conservation have received from 
the landowners is’ tremendous. 
Roadsides are the major land areas 
these agencies had the potential to 
work on for increasing pheasant 
production. And it appears that 
these plantings can be made on a 
large scale for a reasonable cost. 
“We are still down from what 
our pheasant population should be, 
but through this program, we feel 
we are moving in the right direc- 
tion,’ Joselyn concludes. ‘Hope- 
fully the program can be expand- 
ed to provide proper nesting habi- 
tat to other regions and we can 
help increase the population of the 
pheasant to the level we feel it 
should be.”
