AGFC Expo Teaches Landowners How to Increase Deer and Wildlife Habitat

The day will open with a session of vendor displays, so landowners can make connections with experts in various fields of land management techniques, followed by an opening session where attendees will be able to sit down and enjoy a catered fried catfish lunch while listening to Harper’s keynote.

“We also will be recognizing the 2026 Natural State Landowner Conservation Award winners at lunch,” Hooks said. “These awards recognize the landowners who have taken private land wildlife habitat management to the next level through programs offered by the AGFC and other organizations. Not only are they a great way to celebrate their accomplishments, but also to inspire other landowners with some of the amazing work possible to benefit our state’s wildlife and fisheries.”

Following lunch, participants will be able to choose from a variety of topics during breakout sessions to learn more about wetland habitat management, quail management, turkey management and a host of fishery-related topics from farm pond management to conserving streamside land and preventing erosion and sediment pollution on their property.

“The topics reflect the areas where private landowners can create the most benefit for Arkansas’s wildlife and natural resources,” Hooks said. “By attending these sessions, landowners are arming themselves with the knowledge needed to bolster their work, and they will be able to make contact with people who specialize in many areas of private land conservation.”
