Scroggins speaks to landowner group

Posted

WOODVILLE – Texas Parks and Wildlife Biologist, Hunter Scroggins, informed the Tyler County Forest Landowner Association (TCFLOA) that we have wild turkeys along the Neches River in the northern part of the county.

Landowners are encouraged to establish daylight open roads through their tree farms to provide travel corridors for the turkeys.

Having Hunter as speaker at the Sept. 20 meeting was doubly rewarding to the attendees.

In 2014, Hunter was awarded TCFLOA’s first college scholarship for students pursuing forestry or forestry-related degrees. On his scholarship application, Hunter stated that his dream was to “become a successful biologist.”

As District Biologist for TPWD, Hunter has clearly achieved that dream.
