As our fire seasons grow in length and intensity due to climate change, so too does the demand on our wildland firefighters. Please join me in thanking the dedicated members of the @ForestService who are on the ground, doing the work.
NWTF Director of Conservation Services Mark Hatfield (@TheBeardedBio) was invited back to his alma mater, @murraystateuniv, to speak about his career in wildlife conservation and to discuss the NWTF’s mission and its role in wild turkey restoration. https://t.co/GWdwixPnSP
Thanks to our dedicated staff, members, volunteers and conservation partners, our first-ever Conservation Week was a success. In case you missed out on the fun, here is a recap:

Shout out to the NWTF Seed Program. For the last 10 years, it has been an honor to help create food plots for the "Save the Habitat" initiative. To raise awareness for this great program, we just gave out 3 prizes:
1) Brad V. from Des Moines
2) Larry S,
3) Eric S from St. Louis
The NWTF and the @CaliforniaDFW have partnered during the last six years to conduct wild turkey population research and open 4,900 acres to turkey hunting. Full Story >>
