Youth Birders: Delaware Wild Lands’ Hangman Reserve

Wild Turkeys by Michael Moore

The Hangman’s Impoundment supports a highly diverse freshwater ecosystem. It is well-vegetated with species such as wild rice and pickerel weed that support wildlife. The impoundment supports a variety of wildlife species including songbirds, Sandhill cranes, turkeys, mink, muskrats, and waterfowl. DWL is involved in a multi-institution research project for wood ducks, and there are several wood duck boxes that have been in place around this impoundment for years. DWL staff will join us on this trip to share all of the conservation projects that they have been working on!

Please RSVP to Jessica at [email protected] so we’ll know to expect you.
