Public Timber Project: Conserving Habitat, Culture, and Community (Ep. 712)

In this episode, Dr. Jerad Henson welcomes Ich Stewart, founder of the Public Timber Project, to share how a group of Arkansas duck hunters turned frustration into action. What started with a simple boat ramp cleanup has grown into a multi-state grassroots conservation movement giving public land hunters a voice, building community, and addressing issues like access, habitat pressure, and hunting culture. From partnering with researchers and agencies to mentoring new hunters, the Public Timber Project is reshaping how waterfowlers care for the resource and each other.PUBLIC TIMBER PROJECT WEBSITE!PUBLIC TIMBER PROJECT on Facebook!Listen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: [email protected]:Purina Pro Plan: The official performance dog food of Ducks UnlimitedWhether you're a seasoned hunter or just getting started, this episode is packed with valuable insights into the world of waterfowl hunting and conservation.Bird Dog Whiskey and Cocktails:Whether you’re winding down with your best friend, or celebrating with your favorite crew, Bird Dog brings award-winning flavor to every moment.
