From the Summary and Conclusions ... 'Prescribed burning and systematic grazing management both offer strong possibilities for prairie chicken habitat manipulation in the Coastal Prairie. Prescribed burning appears to be a useful management tool for maintaining high quality prairie chicken habitat where grazing is greatly restricted or totally excluded. Grazing alone appears to be a suitable alternative to manipulating Coastal Prairie ranges for the benefit of Attwater's prairie chicken and may be done in conjunction with efficient range livestock production.' © 1972, Tall Timbers Research, Inc.
