June 4, 2024, EDGEFIELD, S.C. – Taking its support of wild turkey research into new territory, the NWTF recently established the first-ever National Wild Turkey Federation Distinguished Professor position with the University of Georgia’s Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources.
A prominent professor and researcher will be appointed as the school’s National Wild Turkey Federation Distinguished Professor later this year. That individual will be the recipient of the investment returns of a $500,000 endowment to facilitate wild turkey research endorsed and supported by state wildlife agencies in the years ahead.
