Citizen Science: TURKEYS
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 06/30/2018
Turkeys have made an amazing recovery in New York State but recent surveys suggest that their populations have begun to decline. The reasons for this decline are not fully understood, so the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is conducting a Summer Wild Turkey Sighting Survey. We hope that this data will help us understand the reasons for the decline. Join us for this 45-minute indoor program to learn more about wild turkeys and how you can help participate in this survey.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
Come learn from Mike Schiavone, Wildlife Biologist with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) how the DEC monitors turkeys as well as the on-going research projects to better understand turkey populations, and how you can help collect turkey information for their Citizen Science project. Ages 6+. Free!
