Summary
In this episode, we explore a major milestone for the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) and what it means for the future of wildlife conservation in North America. The NWTF has announced the appointment of Dr. Patrick Wightman as its new National Director of Wild Turkey Research and Science—a historic move that marks the first time since the 1980s that the organization has dedicated a senior leadership role solely to scientific research. We break down why this role matters, how it reflects NWTF’s long-standing commitment to science-driven conservation, and what it signals about the future of wild turkey populations and habitat management.
