Gobblers in the study tended to survive better in areas of less than optimum habitat, where either forest cover or open areas exceeded 60 percent of the landscape. Lutz is supervising graduate student Matt Lechmaier in the final year of a three-year study looking into the relationship between habitat and survival of adult male turkeys. If either forest or open land exceeds 60 percent of the terrain or drops below 40 percent, gobbler abundance begins to decline. Hunters should be aware that...

And whether a family is struggling to pay bills or not, going to electronic payments is one way ratepayers in our community can protect the environment by getting rid of one envelope and paper check at a time. However, for some of those families, the solution could be as simple as going to direct payments, a tactic endorsed by NACHA, a nonprofit electronic-payments organization based in Herndon, Va.

Advertising News reports of chronic air pollution are putting Hong Kong's reputation as a top Asian tourist destination at risk, travel industry figures have warned.

After moving through the educational stations and practice casting into wood chips, each child was given their own tackle box, a loaner rod and some bait. Almost 90 children signed up, with families in tow, for a free lesson in baiting, casting and fishing safety at the park's Lake Ralphine. Fifteen family members from four generations showed up to either learn to fish or to offer encouragement. Rogers later reported the boys hadn't even had a nibble, but it didn't dampen their excitement....

Sixty to 70 percent of our treated drinking water is used to water lawns and the average irrigated home lawn uses more than 10,000 gallons of water each summer. But you probably leave the TV on when you leave the room, boil six cups of water when you only need one and stuff handfuls of plastic bags into the trash after unpacking groceries.
