In 2016 the Clark County Forestry and Parks Department and The Black River Country NWTF Chapter teamed up to create five wildlife openings totaling 8 acres in the Clark County Forest.  “Wildlife openings in a heavily forested landscape are critical for turkey brood-rearing habitat,” according to Rick Horton, NWTF District Biologist.  “Young turkeys eat mostly insects in summer as their rapid growth requires a lot of protein.  Openings with a lot of different kinds of flowering plants offer many different insects for the young birds”.  The project used $1,200 of NWTF Super Fund and was matched with $6,333 from the County, so every NWTF dollar was matched with over $5 in outside funding!
