Delaware Asks Residents to Help Count Wild Turkeys This Summer

Delaware’s environmental and natural resources agency is turning to everyday residents for help with its yearly wild turkey count, and volunteers are needed now through the end of August.

The DNREC Division of Fish and Wildlife is asking members of the public to observe and report wild turkey sightings between July 1 and August 31 as part of the state’s annual turkey productivity survey.

By participating, volunteers help wildlife officials keep tabs on where turkeys are living throughout Delaware and how well the population is reproducing from year to year.
