Carlie Gizel, the Wild Turkey Program Manager for the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission, will explore the surprising facts of turkey behavior and ecology. She'll discuss how turkeys change their activity as day length changes throughout the year, how their life history stages connect with their environment, how their seasonal rhythms interact with our own (such as why turkey season is always in the spring), and how turkey biology shapes the number of turkeys hunted each season.
Plus, learn how you can take part in monitoring turkey populations where you live through the Turkey Brood Survey, in which you can report observations of turkeys you see in your daily life to help biologists keep track of turkeys in our state!
Our monthly educational programs are held in the private meeting room at DJ’s Dugout, 777 N 114th Street. Meet and mingle with other nature-lovers at the 6 p.m. social hour, followed by the program at 7 p.m. Our meetings are free and open to the public. Please register so we know you're joining us!
