Join Us for a Night in the W!ld!
River Parks’ signature fall fundraiser, Wild Turkey, returns on Thursday, September 28, 2023. As autumn colors emerge among the forested hills of Turkey Mountain, a casual evening under the stars beckons! Unwind in your most comfortable outdoor wear, visiting with friends old and new, sharing BBQ and bonfires as the sun dips below the horizon. Entertainment features bluegrass, short moonlight strolls at the trailhead, and birds from the Sutton Avian Research Center.
Wild Turkey benefits the Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness, Tulsa’s treasure trove of winding trails, quiet ponds and meadows, valleys and vistas. Each year, tens of thousands hike, bike and ramble the wooded landscape, finding an uncommon respite in the heart of the city. The 2020 Turkey Mountain Master Plan is guiding the park’s management to assure its viability for generations to come. Your support of Wild Turkey is implementing the Master Plan’s goals: preservation, restoration and recreation.
Progress toward these goals is evident through accomplishments to date:
• 16+ miles of trail have been rehabilitated to mitigate erosion and improve accessibility
• the first controlled burn was conducted to begin thinning the understory and reduce wildfire danger
• areas of invasive species are being removed to allow desirable vegetation to flourish
• installation of new wayfinding signage has begun
Turkey Mountain is one of Tulsa’s most popular recreation destinations, with over 28,000 visitors per month this spring and summer. Your support for Wild Turkey at one of the many patron levels will make a lasting difference for the Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness!
“Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.” - Sir John Lubbock
