Volunteer to Watch Out for Turkeys

DNREC seeking volunteer birdwatchers to report sightings of wild turkeys for 2010 survey

The DNREC Division of Fish and Wildlife is looking for volunteer birdwatchers to assist the Division with an annual productivity survey on the location and number of wild turkeys in Delaware. This data will help biologists track the health, distribution and reproductive success of the state’s wild turkeys with the goal of ensuring a sustainable harvest of this treasured game species.

Today, Delaware has a thriving wild turkey population that allows for an annual turkey season, but this was not always the case. The reintroduction of the wild turkey back into Delaware, nearly 200 years after it became locally extinct, remains one of the Division’s greatest success stories.

Beginning in early 1984, with support from the National Wild Turkey Federation, Division biologists released 34 wild-trapped turkeys from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Vermont into ...continued

NaturaLawn

I met Rick about 20 years ago when he was first starting the business. We became NaturaLawn customers about 5 years ago and are extremely pleased with the results.

After trying to “do it ourselves’ for many years we finally decided to use a service. There was no doubt in out minds about who we wanted to use. Our lawn is now lush and weed free with no recalcitrant bare spots. There are many lawn services who have made changes over the past decade to become more eco-friendly but NaturaLawn has always used non toxic, environmentally friendly products. They also approach things differently, with a more thorough process. They initially test your soil to ascertain which nutrients it may be lacking, non-existent, or too plentiful. After they receive the results they customize your treatment and give you a thorough explanation of what your lawn needs and recommend a a treatment plan.

This testing is an essential step in their unique approach ...continued
