EP 110 2025 NWTF Conservation Week: Southeastern Region

The NWTF's Habitat for the Hatch initiative just wrapped up its second year, improving nesting and brood-rearing habitat across the Southeast at an accelerated pace. 

The initiative is made possible by NWTF state chapters, partners, staff and a shared dedication to the wild turkey. 

In this episode of the Turkey Call All Access podcast, we're joined by NWTF district biologists Derek Alkire and Ricky Lackey; Daniel Standly, NWTF National Forestry Initiative forester; Doug Little, NWTF Eastern director of operations; Molly Pitts, NWTF forest management manager; and David Gladkowski, NWTF managing editor - web and media.

Together, they discuss the vision behind Habitat for the Hatch, the importance of wild turkey research, how the NWTF's work benefits entire ecosystems, ways private landowners can get involved and more!
