Creating Ruffed Grouse Habitat

In this video we're going over how to create habitat for ruffed grouse using timber stand improvement (TSI). Ruffed grouse populations are declining quickly across much of their range and doing sound habitat management can help build back their populations. We look at how TSI can create more food and cover for not only ruffed grouse, but all wildlife species!

I have lots of grouse in my land. I accidentally discovered it while deer hunting last year. I had the curiosity to shoot one & cooked it. It was so delicious. Just like chicken. As I write, I hear them drumming around my cabin. I’m located 3 miles north of the Minnesota border. I came across your video presentation & needs to know more about how to keep them on my land. Any such presentation would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you so much!

I live in the Adirondacks of Ny. We use to have Grouse everywhere.. We no longer have the Grouse numbers we did when I was a kid. I can remember hitting a brush pile or thicket and it was nothing to flush 10 to 12 birds at a time. Now to see a Grouse is very very rare.

Another great video. It's great to see the effort more and more people are putting in to improving our native habit for all wildlife.

Don't you think we'll have to reintroduce the grouse into areas where they don't exist anymore, or are you thinking if the habitat is right for them they'll come?

I have alot of spicebush in some areas of my land, is spicebush beneficial to the ruffed grouse?

Thanks for the video guys, l really appreciate what you are doing 👍👍
