Covert [kuhv-ert]: A word that describes a thicket which provides a sheltering cover for wildlife. A word that appropriately names a special educational program for Connecticut woodland owners.
Since 1983, the Coverts Project has been reaching out to Connecticut’s individual woodland owners and teaching them how sound management practices can make wildlife healthier, more diverse and more abundant.
Education Through Demonstration
Dozens of privately-owned Coverts Project demonstration forests around Connecticut are actively managed to show how good forest management and conservation practices can:
1. Earn the woodland owner a long term financial return, and
2. Improve the diversity, health and productivity of the forest and the wildlife that live in it.
