NWTF helps fund research that examines relationship between wild turkey predation and the habitats involved.
The NWTF is helping fund numerous projects led by Kansas State University; the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks; and the U.S. Geological Survey, Kansas Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit.
A catalyst for these projects was the stark figure that wild turkey populations have declined in Kansas by more than 40% since 2008. Suggested causes for the decline include loss of nesting and poult-rearing habitat, loss of habitat or required features of habitat (like foraging and roost sites), reduction in landscape carrying capacity, declining poult survival, changes in predator communities and more. However, many reasons are anecdotal and not grounded in peer-reviewed research — until now.
