Abstract:

Birds and other wildlife strikes cost the U.S. civil aviation industry over $620 million per year (Dolbeer & Wright 2008). Airfield wildlife place human life in jeopardy during take-offs and landings. Wildlife hazards may be especially problematic for General Aviation airports in farm friendly regions. Habitat Management for an integrated approach. The use of native plants on airfields has advantages: adapted to local conditions, low nutrient soils, not as likely to become invasive, and low maintenance requirements (less water, nutrients). This project examined the suitability for native plants to be hydroseeded on airfields compared to seed mixes already commonly used which contain species attractive to wildlife and was supported by FAA Aviation Research Grant, SUNY Oneonta, and 3 rural airports in NY: Oneonta Municipal Airport, Griffiss International Airport, and Elmira-Corning Regional Airport.
