Monthly Club Meeting – “Talkin’ Turkey – Wild Turkey Projects in Pennsylvania”
Club Meeting – North Museum of Nature and Science, 400 College Ave, Lancaster, PA 17603
Presented by Rachel Pennell, Wild Turkey Research Project Crew Leader, PA Game Commission Southeast Region
Eastern Wild Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) are being intensely studied in Pennsylvania. We will discuss the objectives of the hen and gobbler projects initiated by the PA Game Commission. Interactions of habitat, predators, hunter harvest, disease, and weather are being investigated. The findings will provide insight on how to better manage turkey populations region wide.
Rachel Pennell is the Wild Turkey Research Project Crew Leader for the Southeast Region of the PA Game Commission. Prior to coming to the PA Game Commission, she worked with migratory waterfowl for Winous Point Marsh Conservancy and the Cohen Wildlife Lab at Tennessee Technological University.
