NWTF Wildlife Bulletin No. 9 - Planting Legumes for Wildlife

Legumes are a group of plants that are members of the Fabaceae plant family. Most legumes produce an abundance of high quality forage that is readily used by many species of wildlife. Turkeys utilize legumes by feeding on the leaves and flower heads, and insects and other invertebrates that live on the plants. Clovers are the most common legumes planted for wildlife purposes.
