Restoration of the wild turkey in Massachusetts
The wild turkey once vanished from Massachusetts by the mid nineteenth century due to habitat loss and over hunting. In 1959 the Massachusetts Cooperative Wildlife Unit and the Division of Fisheries and Game began a transplantation program to restore the species. By spring 1970 the statewide population was about 170, and the bird was reestablished.
