EDGEFIELD, S.C. - It is now easier than ever for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts and conservationists to get the latest details on projects that benefit wildlife and habitat nationwide, thanks to the National Wild Turkey Federation’s new blogs.The NWTF’s wildlife biologists, the foremost experts on wild turkeys and upland habitat, will regularly post blog entries about important conservation projects being completed on the ground to enhance habitat for wild turkeys and other wildlife.

The NWTF’s education and outreach staff will also post blog entries about scholarship opportunities and JAKES, Xtreme JAKES, Women in the Outdoors and Wheelin’ Sportsmen, the NWTF’s outreach programs, which work to increase interest in the outdoors by bringing new hunters and conservationists into the fold through outdoor education events.

The blogs are available at www.nwtf.org/blogs.

Readers can follow NWTF staffs’ weekly activities by reading and commenting on blog entries about everything from wild turkey biology to land management tips, local legislative actions, hunter access, outreach programs and much more.

“These blogs are useful tools packed with valuable information for anyone who wants to learn more about wild turkey management, conservation and the preservation of our hunting heritage,” said James Earl Kennamer, Ph.D., NWTF chief conservation officer. “We are excited to have this new vehicle for members and potential members to engage our experts and stay abreast of what is happening in their states.”

The NWTF is a nonprofit conservation organization that works daily to further its mission of conserving the wild turkey and preserving our hunting heritage. Through dynamic partnerships with state, federal and provincial wildlife agencies, the NWTF and its members have helped restore wild turkey populations across the country, spending more than $331 million to conserve 14 million acres of habitat for all types of wildlife.
