Songbirds, quail, turkeys and even mule deer will benefit from an upcoming DWR planting project funded by Utah’s Watershed Restoration Initiative. Scheduled for the second week of April, the project will keep habitat crews busy planting nearly 5,000 trees on the Huntington Game Farm Wildlife Management Area. The trees will include a mix of cottonwoods and willows as well as many types of fruit- and nut-bearing trees and shrubs. DWR biologists have carefully selected plants that will provide maximum benefit to the many species that use the area.
Utah’s extensive, groundbreaking efforts to improve wildlife habitat and watersheds is ongoing across the state of Utah.
Wade Paskett from the DWR reported to the Emery County Lands Council about the large project at the Huntington game farm.
He said any dedicated hunters who would like to get involved in the project to work off hours are more than welcome to help.
