Landowners in Missouri interested in improving wild turkey habitat on their property are invited to a free workshop hosted by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF).
The workshop will be held on March 29th, from 9:00 AM to noon, at a privately owned farm in Howell County, 10 miles south of West Plains.
MDC Private Land Conservationists and an NWTF Wildlife Biologist will lead the workshop, discussing the key elements of good turkey habitat and providing guidance on how landowners can create and enhance these habitats on their own land.
This is an excellent opportunity for landowners to connect with experts and develop customized habitat management plans.
Participants should be prepared for a walk of approximately one mile and are advised to wear waterproof boots and long pants.
The workshop will take place on a working hay farm, and directions can be obtained by contacting Mark McLain at Mark.McLain@mdc.mo.gov.
Registration is required and can be completed online at the provided link: https://mdc-event-web.s3licensing.com/Event/EventDetails/206948
MDC offers a variety of virtual and in-person programs across the state. A full listing of these programs can be found on the MDC website: mdc.mo.gov/events.
