DEM Asks For Reports Of Wild Turkey Broods Through August 31

/, 0 Comments

Each year, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) asks the public to assist with their Turkey Brood Survey by reporting sightings of female turkeys, or hens, and their babies, called poults, from July 1st though August 31st. These citizen reported sightings of wild turkey hens, both with brood and without, help with research efforts. These reports provide DEM with information on the health and distribution of turkey populations in our state.

This survey is open from July 1st to August 31st. For more details visit the: Wild Turkey Brood Survey at the DEM website.
