What can I plant on my property to help feed Grouse?

High bush cranberries. Years ago I used to hunt the Mountain Wildlife Area and there was a big stand of cranberries. I was almost guaranteed to get a grouse along those bushes.

Thanks to everyone that responded....a lot of great I formation that I will use. There is not a lot of undergrowth but we are planning on selective logging in the next year or two.

Make trails,plant clover,high bush cranberries.
This will take care of fall foods,in summer, food is everywhere.In winter,they will eat buds from birch and other trees,depending on the area.Up north here this is what works.Any berry or fruit tree I'm sure will work,I have them eating sunflowers. I maintain trails through standing timber,(not too old)but make sure I never cut the grass on my trails until August to provide cover for the chicks otherwise they are susceptible to predators.I have them coming to my bird feeders around the house in winter,.PM me with your email and I will send you a little video I took at my bird feeders showing approx. 14 grouse along with some chickadees.Having this many together in one spot tends to attract attention from 4 footed critters.I work from home so can keep a vigil.

Friend had a bird feeder in his yard and during the cold winter months he had as many as 8 feeding one time. High bush are best late in the fall when other berries are done.
