In this episode, we review a recent Wisconsin study focused on restoring native woodlands and introducing fire to promote higher insect abundance, species richness, and plant and bird biodiversity. We highlight key points of the study and infer how the same methods can be used to promote high insect abundance at the time that poults need it most.    Donate to wild turkey research: UF Turkey Donation Fund) , Auburn Turkey Donation Fund)   Resources:
