Texas Public Lands

  • The National Wild Turkey Federation and its project partners have united to complete projects that will potentially improve more than 550,000 acres in Texas National Forests and Grasslands and Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) through the Master Challenge Cost Share Agreement.
  • Project partners are the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, the U.S. Forest Service, the NWTF’s Texas State Chapter and NWTF national headquarters. Throughout the five-year agreement, each partner committed $125,000 to create a shared biologist position and oversee the completion of projects that will improve habitat for wild turkeys and other wildlife.
  • One project on the Pat Mayse Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Paris, Texas, will improve more than 1,000 acres of much-needed nesting and brood-rearing habitat for wild turkeys and other ground-nesting birds.
