When used safely and intentionally, prescribed burning is one of the most powerful tools we have for supporting wild turkey populations.

Here’s why:
🥚It creates prime nesting habitat – Studies show that turkeys prefer areas that were burned 2–3 years earlier, where grasses and forbs provide great cover.

🐛It boosts brood survival – Freshly burned areas are full of insects, giving turkey poults the high‑energy food they need to grow fast.

🌾It improves foraging – Turkeys often move into burned areas immediately, even while the ground is still warm, because prescribed burns expose food they can’t resist.

Research shows that prescribed burns result in very few nest losses, and that predators—not fire—remain the primary threat to turkey nests. Learn more at https://www.agfc.com/news/where-theres-smoke-theres-habitat-prescribed-fire-missing-piece-to-many-management-puzzles/
