NEW LANDOWNER SERIES TO FOCUS ON WILDLIFE

    Managing your native rangeland to promote good habitat for wildlife is a goal that many hope to attain, yet often many questions arise as to how to best achieve that goal.  Here is your chance to become a better steward of your natural resource by participating in a New Landowner Series focusing on “Wildlife Management” to be held Friday,  July 15, 2011 at the Rob and Bessie Welder Wildlife Foundation refuge eight miles north of Sinton, off  HWY 77 from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
    This educational series will feature discussions by experts on Whitetail Deer, Rio Grande Turkey, and Bobwhite Quail management. In addition site selection and renovation of stock tanks and aquatic weed management will also be discussed.  If you own property, and wish to lease your property for hunting or other options, the leasing option will also be reviewed.
    Registration fee for this session is $20 per person, unless previously paid in the first session.  All those planning to attend should pre-register by contacting the Nueces County Extension Office at 361-767-5223.  This series is being sponsored by the Texas AgriLife Extension Service offices of San Patricio, Nueces, Kleberg, and Jim Wells Counties, and the Welder Wildlife Foundation.
