Jamestown Wildlife Area to host waterfowl tour, seminar

JAMESTOWN — The Jamestown Wildlife Area managers will host a Jamestown Waterfowl Information night with a twist on September 12.
Instead of meeting in a classroom with presentations, pictures, graphs and tables on the current habitat conditions, interested hunters and outdoor lovers are invited to the Jamestown Wildlife Area to see the conditions first hand.
A driving tour will begin at 6 p.m. from the headquarters and return at 7:30 p.m. for a short presentation and question and answer sessions.
Those attending the event will see the improvements from the two major wetland enhancement projects that took place in the past two years, challenges for management in 2019, how waters is moved and held in various pools and habitat conditions expected for this upcoming season.
It will be an opportunity for the public to get a sneak peak before the early teal season opener on September 14.
Attendees will also learn about expected waterfowl numbers for the upcoming fall, 2019-2020 waterfowl season dates, bag limits and habitat conditions throughout the central flyway.
