The wild turkey, synonymous with Thanksgiving and iconic within our region, has not always held such a stable place in Massachusetts. There was a time when turkeys were overhunted nearly to the point of extinction. Thanks to a reintroduction program begun in the 1970s, turkeys can now be found throughout the state in urban, rural, and suburban areas. Learn some turkey natural and cultural history as well as the conservation needs of these native birds. Led by Patti Steinman, the Education Coordinator for Mass Audubon’s Connecticut River Valley Sanctuaries, based out of Arcadia in Easthampton and Northampton.
