Why are shrublands important to humans?
Why are Shrublands Important? Impenetrable and dense, shrublands are often ignored and undervalued by people. For some species of wildlife, such as New England cottontail rabbits, American woodcock, and ruffed grouse, shrublands provide the best possible cover.
