MISSISSIPPI — Ask any wildlife biologist what it takes to keep wildlife healthy, happy and close to home, and they'll tell you it's all about having good habitat.

Learn how to improve wildlife habitat on your property by attending the National Wild Turkey Federation's Wildlife Habitat Management Workshop Tuesday, May 27, 2008, at the Fluker Property in Winona, Miss.

During the workshop, participants will learn about the benefits of prescribed fire for wildlife and timber management. Landowners and managers also will spend time with experts learning how to thin pine plantations to improve wildlife habitat, manage hardwood stands for wildlife and timber, manage food plots to attract wildlife, maintain road systems, take advantage of cost-share programs available to private landowners and more.

The cost of the workshop is $10, and the program runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Participation is limited to the first 50 people registered. The registration deadline is May 20. Registration forms should be mailed to the NWTF, Attn. Sally Faust, P.O. Box 530, Edgefield, SC, 29824.

To learn more about the workshop, call Joe Koloski at (601) 454-4455.
