Wildlife Management

On most farms, it is usually a by-product of the family operation.

Wildlife on the Farm Suitable habitat and food are essential to increase the number of wildlife on a farm. To improve habitat, brush piles might be left when harvesting wood lots to provide shelter and cover for the protection of wildlife.. To improve food supply, farmers might leave crop residue standing.

Proper Wildlife Management Includes managed hunting & fishing. Removes excess wildlife that would otherwise be lost due to natural causes. Prevents overpopulation and eventual decreased wildlife population which would result from…. Malnutrition Disease Reduction in reproduction

Carrying Capacity The number of wildlife each habitat can support throughout the year. Managed hunting & fishing will help maintain the proper carrying capacity. More wildlife than the habitat can support will result in problems for wildlife and habitat.

Carrying Capacity Wildlife are affected by malnutrition, disease, and a reduction in the reproduction cycle. Habitat quality goes down. Water quality of a stream with a carrying capacity of 20 fish will decrease if 50 fish are in the stream.

Careers

Ecologists Study the effects of the environment on animal life.

Game Warden (Wildlife Officer) Enforces hunting & fishing regulations as a means of wildlife management. Wildlife officers should enjoy working outdoors. Requires special training & often a college degree.

Game Warden (Wildlife Officer) In North Carolina, the wildlife officer is a government employee under the direction of the North Carolina Wildlife Commission.

NC Wildlife Commission The agency responsible for controlling the harvest of wildlife.

Wildlife Biologist Do research on habitat & wildlife as part of a career in natural resources. Advise government agencies in establishing fish/game laws and habitat improvement programs. Usually requires a minimum of a Master’s Degree.

Wildlife Technician Work in the field tagging animals and gathering data.
