MANUFACTURED BY: RamyTurf
Fast-establishing grasses break ground early to lock in soil and create immediate cover, while legumes and deeper-rooted species build structure, forage value, and staying power as the season unfolds. Together they form a functional habitat system that carries wildlife from nesting through brooding and movement periods, delivering dependable performance without ongoing maintenance or second passes.
Purpose Built Structure and Nutrition
Each species in the mix plays a defined role in building protective cover that lasts beyond the first growing season. Together, they create layered growth that balances height, density, and soil support.
- Timothy and perennial ryegrass establish quickly to lock in early cover and stabilize disturbed ground.
- Orchard grass and slender wheatgrass provide upright structure that supports nesting and protects young birds from exposure.
- Sweet clover and alfalfa contribute protein-rich forage while improving soil fertility through nitrogen fixation.
- Birdsfoot trefoil adds long-term persistence and low-growing density that fills gaps and strengthens the stand.
Habitat Performance That Holds
Once established, the stand develops into a thick, resilient cover zone that resists lodging, withstands weather swings, and maintains usable structure through multiple seasons. Nesting birds gain concealment and protection. Land managers gain a dependable habitat solution that continues working year after year.
The mix performs well across conservation areas, buffer strips, field edges, and wildlife corridors where both cover and soil protection are priorities.
Seeding Rate and Coverage
Designed for simple planning and predictable results, this blend scales cleanly across a range of project sizes.
- 45 pounds covers one acre for full density and structural performance.
- Available in 10 pound and 25 pound bags for flexible installation.
- Drill or broadcast into prepared seedbeds with firm seed to soil contact.
- Early moisture accelerates emergence and ensures uniform stand development.
Where This Blend Excels
This nesting and habitat cover performs wherever wildlife protection and ground stability must work together.
- Upland bird nesting and brood habitat
- Conservation reserve and restoration sites
- Buffer strips and field borders
- Wildlife corridors and transitional landscapes
Built for Habitat Managers Who Expect Results
Wildlife managers get cover that shows up fast and stays upright when nesting pressure is highest. Conservation programs gain soil stability that limits erosion while improving site function year after year. Landowners and land managers end up with ground that works harder, protects habitat, and requires less intervention once established.
Built by Ramy Turf with field realities in mind, this blend delivers structure, durability, and reliability without constant oversight. When nesting success, site integrity, and long-term performance all matter, this seed gives you the confidence to plant once and let the habitat do its job.
