Department of Biology joins Mustard Seed Ranch for 2024 JAKES Day
We 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.
