Habitat  Turk Station’s Mission is to provide the finest upland, wetland, and riparian habitat for its clients to enjoy and be the leader in private habitat management and development for the Westside of the San Joaquin Valley. In October 2000, Turk Station embarked on its Rangeland and Wildlife Conservation Plan. To date gates and fences have been installed or repaired, Tamarisk have been removed and replaced with native plantings of Cottonwood and Atriplex. Drip irrigation and guzzlers have been installed in various locations. 430 acres of habitat has been specifically designed for upland gamebirds, primarily Ringneck Pheasant. Increasing numbers of California Valley Quail and Morning Dove are utilizing the area. Additional improvements include Sorghum, Autry Cow Pea and cereal grains plantings as well as additional Cottonwood, Atriplex, and pasture grasses. In 2004 Turk Station partnered with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to improve and complete the waterfowl/wetlands habitat area. This project includes a four acre aquatic pond, six acre nesting/loafing area, food plots, Cottonwood and Willow plantings, and drip irrigation. Turk Station’s Wetlands/Waterfowl habitat area is now being utilized by Mallard, Canvasback, Pintail, Gadwall, Ring-neck and Teal duck species. Shore bird species include Long Billed Curlew, Black Neck Stilts, Blue Herrin and Egret. Other species identified are Common Grackle, King Fisher, Kill-Deer, Coot, and Tri-Color Blackbird.
