If you need help outside my area of
the country, I will be glad to get you in contact with the closest NWTF Habitat
Pro-Staff or I will help you myself. |
The NWTF's Energy for Wildlife program helps the utility industry manage
millions of miles of rights-of-way and other lands they own that could
potentially provide ideal habitat for a number of wildlife species.
The program helps . . .
|
Companies: * Develop credibility for vegetation/wildlife management programs * Receive technical assistance with vegetation and wildlife issues
* Receive assistance with state and federal lands issues
|
Members and Volunteers: * Work toward increasing public hunting access * Gain corporate cooperation with private lands management * Receive assistance on technical vegetation/forestry/wildlife management problems * Assist with other cooperative programs including Farm Bill programs |
Managing these properties provides great habitat for wild turkeys. Several
species currently at risk from loss of open habitat also benefit from the
program.

NWTF's Energy for Wildlife program staff works directly with utility companies to integrate wildlife management activities into their land management programs. When participating companies have implemented the wildlife component of their management plans, they will receive a "seal of approval" from NWTF staff for their efforts.
The following companies currently participate in the NWTF's Energy for Wildlife program.
