Private land seminar at LR Nature Center

LITTLE ROCK — The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, The National Wild Turkey Federation and The Nature Conservancy will offer habitat management and enhancement workshops for landowners July 10 at the Witt Stephens Jr. Central Arkansas Nature Center in Little Rock.

Jason Honey, a private lands biologist with the AGFC, will talk about how to plant and manage native wildlife foods, as well as the AGFC’s equipment loaner program. Equipment available for loan includes special drills to plant native plant seeds and sprayers landowners can pull with an all-terrain vehicle.

Dennis Daniel, the NWTF’s state biologist, will explain how to manage property to benefit wild turkeys, such as planting chufa and controlling nest predators.

Jason Milks of The Nature Conservancy will talk about controlled burning.

There will be two sessions covering the same topics. The first session will be from 10:30 a.m. to noon, and the second runs from 1:30 to 3 p.m.

Participants must preregister by calling (501) 907-0636.
