Turkey Talk

Did you know that... Last year, the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Becoming an Outdoors Woman (B.O.W) program partnered with Wildlands Trust to host an Intermediate Turkey Hunt?

The hunt began at dawn on April 30th 2011 at the 230-acre Great River Preserve in Bridgewater, MA. Four intermediate women hunters were led by two experienced hunting guides. One of the women, Cynthia Langill, successfully harvested her first turkey!

The Great River Preserve is one of the few Wildlands Trust’s properties that allows hunting during legal hunting seasons.

Stewardship Training Field Trip - Part Two
