The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission will host its inaugural Natural State Private Lands Expo on Friday at the Benton Event Center to connect landowners with tools for improving wildlife and aquatic habitats.
The event, scheduled from 11 to 5, will feature a keynote address from Kip Adams of the National Deer Association (NDA), the presentation of the Natural State Landowner Awards, and breakout sessions on habitat management.
“Kip’s been with the NDA since 2002, and he’s worked with many of our private lands biologists through the years to help improve wildlife habitat in Arkansas,” said Garrick Dugger, chief of the AGFC’s Private Lands Habitat Division. “He has a great working knowledge, not only of the techniques that can improve wildlife management efforts, but also of the roadblocks to fulfilling your goals and how to negotiate them.”
Vendors offering equipment, herbicides, tree nurseries, seed companies and drone services will also be available.
Tickets cost $25 per person or $40 per couple and include lunch. Space is limited, and registration is available at agfc.com/habitat.
