Whether you teach in a classroom, nature center, or youth program - the NWTF has something for you! From Wild about Turkey Education Boxes, Academic Scholarships, Activity Kits, Museum programs, turkey education resources and much more!

The comeback story of the wild turkey is a great and FUN vehicle for teaching wildlife, conservation, forestry and natural resource management principles to students young and old. And with wild turkey populations expanding, the Thanksgiving holiday and turkey seasons in most states – there are many teachable turkey moments at your fingertips!

The federation also works with groups like Project Learning Tree, Project WILD and state and federal wildlife agencies to provide training workshops for teachers and educators. For more information about partnering with the NWTF to provide teacher training, please contact the NWTF Education Coordinator at crolka@nwtf.net.


The National Wild Turkey Federation's JAKES program is dedicated to informing, educating and involving North America's youth in wildlife conservation and the wise stewardship of our natural resources.
