Turkeys for Tomorrow (TFT) has announced a major wild turkey habitat initiative in Pennsylvania, supporting large-scale habitat restoration efforts on Moshannon State Forest. Working alongside multiple TFT flocks, the Pennsylvania Game Commission, and state forestry partners, the project focuses on restoring storm-damaged areas through food plots and woodland habitat improvements that benefit wild turkeys, elk, whitetails, and other wildlife on publicly accessible hunting lands.

Turkeys for Tomorrow–funded research in Texas is uncovering critical insights into why some wild turkey hens nest successfully while others don’t. Using GPS-tracked Rio Grande hens on predator-managed landscapes, researchers are examining dispersal patterns, nesting attempts, predator influence, habitat use, and hen behavior to better understand what drives nesting success. These early observations are helping shape future land management and conservation strategies aimed at reversing wild turkey population declines.
