Department of Biology joins Mustard Seed Ranch for 2024 JAKES Day

A young child participating in the 2024 JAKES DayWe were thrilled to join the Upper Cumberland Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation for the 2024 JAKES Day at Mustard Seed Ranch! The JAKES program (Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics, and Sportsmanship) was established in 1981 and is dedicated to imparting responsible, safe, and ethical hunting traditions while teaching principles of wildlife conservation and habitat management to youth under 17. We had a great time talking to kids and their parents about our wild turkey research and hope we inspired some passion for the critters around us.
