Huachuca Gould’s Chapter – Volunteer Award

Picture
      Huachuca Gould’s Chapter – Volunteer Award: The NWTF presents this award to the local chapter that dedicates volunteer hours toward habitat projects and programs within its state. The Huachuca Gould's Chapter in Sierra Vista, Arizona, is active with projects throughout its local area improving habitat for Gould's wild turkeys and assisting the USDA Forest Service and the Arizona Game and Fish Department.  In addition to its tremendous outreach effort, in 2018 the chapter was involved in three major conservation projects contributing a minimum of 160 hours of volunteer time. In 2019, major projects included participating in the annual AZGF Gould's turkey 
 survey, the Korn Canyon drinker maintenance project, the Van Horn exclosure maintenance to protect an important natural spring, and the Fort Huachuca water development installing a 2,200-gallon tank and several drinkers. Not only were these projects vital to the local Gould's wild turkey population, they contributed a minimum of 192 volunteer hours in support of the Forest Service, AZGF and the U.S. Army's Fort Huachuca wildlife program. ​

I received word that HGC received the Volunteer Award, which was submitted by Scott Lerich, NWTF Regional Biologist for AZ and New Mexico.  This award was submitted by Scott at the last minute and was nominated by NWTF just prior to the Convention.  Rich Williams, State Chapter President, received the award in our behalf.
 
This is just another acknowledgement that the Huachuca Gould’s make a difference not only in AZ, but nationally.  You and your spouses deserve a huge pat on the back for your long-term commitment and dedication to NWTF, Conservation, Gould’s Turkey, Family, Youth and Education.  I am very privileged and honored to be a part of such a great group of individuals that work hard and continue to have the energy to make a difference.  Kudos to each and every one of you, past and present.  Being active for 21 + years and still going strong is an achievement that is not achieved in Arizona and throughout most of the U.S.
 
John
