Several teens from the GREAT Program joined Officer Clarke, along with other sportsmen and women and their children as volunteers in an area Young Pheasant Release program yesterday.
In spite of the heat, the children and teens worked enthusiastically and tirelessly alongside the adults to help apply blinders to over 1,000 five week old pheasants. The purpose of the blinders is to prevent the young pheasants from attacking each other, as they are apt to do at this phase in their development.
Once the blinders were on, the pheasants were refreshed and transferred to large outdoor pens. There they will mature until the fall when they will be released into designated wildlife areas.
