The National Federation for Wild turkey, the American Bird Conservation and the Pennsylvania Conservation Bureau and Natural Resources are cooperating with a project to improve habitat in the state forest in Misho, according to a message.
The project aims to create a mosaic of habitats to benefit from wild turkeys and other wildlife species, many of which are classified as species from a great danger to conservation.
More than 1000 acres of the state forest in southern Pennsylvania are observed to manage management, which will begin this summer. Forestry plan to use different techniques, including non -commercial killing of trees, mulching forestry, planting eco -valuable trees, shrubs and forbs, and processing of cutting and releasing trees that have died due to the disease or infection with insects. These managed decares will contribute to 100,000 acres of land preserved at the NWTF forest and herds initiative.
Forestry plans to reduce more than 1,000 trees through the 205 acres print. Strategic placement of wood materials directly into or nearby streams will improve habitat, improve the quality of water, maintain various ecosystems and improve the composition of forests and the structural variety of all plant layers.
The trees will be strategically removed to create gaps for stream canopies and increase the removed wood materials of three miles of streams and adjacent forests. This elevated structure B and around the stream will help to re -connect the water mass to the floodplain, slow down the water speed during high -stream events, reduce erosive potential, and improve water filtration and recharge through increased detention time within the watershed.

Managers also plan to retire about three miles of poorly located unnecessary road segments that negatively affect the streams and forests by the flow. Roads will be reconciled as shared use paths and outbreaks designed to prevent or delay the spread of fires and the burns prescribed by control.
This project will increase the efficiency, predictability and safety of the implementation of the prescribed fire and other managed disorders for the maintenance of dynamic habitats at the level of the upper influx.
The American Conservation of Birds, the Project Gritopter, works in partnership with the Department of Protection and Natural Resources in Pennsylvania, the Forestry Bureau, the Natural Heritage Program in Pennsylvania and the Partnership Network in the South Mountains to develop all five of the National Foundation for Fish and Divan Nature.
The Pennsylvania Head of Pennsylvania has carried out significant funds for the project through the Super Fund of the Head of State. Established during the years of NWTF formation, Super Fund is a volunteer -run program. NWTF volunteers in each country raise money on banquets and other types of fundraising and then distribute a significant part of these funds back into meaningful projects for conservation and work in their respective countries.
The project will be beneficial for wild turkeys by creating an early sequential habitat. Indirectly, the project will improve the ecosystem conditions for all species by increasing the species and structural diversity of the landscape level, leading to a healthier forest and greater quantity and quality of the nesting habitat and breeding for wild turkeys.

“The NFWF project for Mihawks is a continuation of the great restoration works that have arisen at the peaks of the southern mountain ridge,” says Mitch Blake, a biologist at NWTF. “Adapted to a fire landscape, long excluded from fire, now restore acre with decares by disturbance of the landscape scale. It is great to see habitats for the species that are the greatest for conservation, as well as in the above flow of water quality
Since 1973, the National Federation of Diva Turkey has invested more than half a billion dollars in the conservation of wildlife and has a positive over 24 million acres of critical habitat of wildlife. NWTF has also invested more than $ 10 million in wild Turkey studies to manage the population of wild turkey and provide a sustainable population permanently.
