Learn how California winegrowers can leverage natural ecosystems and increase biodiversity to enhance vineyard health and manage insect and vertebrate pests. Kendra Lange (LangeTwins Family Winery & Vineyards) shares a grower’s perspective on the evolution of hedgerows, discussing their role in boosting biodiversity, building resilient farming systems, and supporting natural pest management. Dr. Matt Johnson (Cal Poly Humboldt) presents recent research from Napa Valley exploring how growers use nest boxes and natural habitats to harness the potential of barn owls and songbirds to control rodent and insect pests. Dr. Breanna Martinico (UCANR) provides a "how-to" for establishing nest box networks, offering technical guidance on placement and maintenance to attract predatory birds and insect-eating songbirds.
