  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Keys to Willet (&lt;i&gt;Tringa semipalmata inornata&lt;/i&gt;) management include providing large expanses of native grasslands and wetland complexes. Wetland complexes should contain a diversity of wetland sizes and classes, such as ephemeral, temporary, seasonal, semipermanent, and permanent wetlands, as well as intermittent streams. Willets use wetlands of various salinities. Willets require short, sparse upland grasslands for nesting and foraging and wetland complexes for foraging. Broods use taller, denser grass cover than do nesting adults. Willets have been reported to use habitats with less than or equal to 70 centimeters (cm) average vegetation height, 4–23 cm visual obstruction reading, 15 percent bare ground, 38 percent litter cover, and 1–9 cm litter depth.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
