Public Access to Habitat Program Expands to Oklahoma Quail Forever is proud to announce the Public Access to Habitat (PATH) program has expanded to Oklahoma. Partnering with the okwildlifedept(ODWC), the program aims to enroll 10,000+ acres of high-quality upland habitat through the agency’s Oklahoma Land Access Program (OLAP). This effort is made possible by our incredible partnerships with onxhunt and ODWC, as well as support from local PF & QF chapters, donors and other conservation partners.

Quail Fact Friday! Scaled quail are track stars. These desert-dwellers would rather sprint than take to the air. In September, as coveys form and the days remain hot and dry, you’ll often see them dashing across ranch roads or vanishing into creosote thickets. This running habit is no accident – it’s an adaptation to open, arid country where speed, stamina, and not exposing yourself to aerial predators means survival.

For nearly four decades, the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) has been one of America’s most successful conservation tools. It has restored millions of acres of wildlife habitat, improved soil health and water quality, and strengthened rural economies across the country. CRP is also a critical part of the farm safety net, giving farmers and ranchers the flexibility to manage risk, generate reliable on-farm income, and protect their most sensitive acres. But with CRP authority set to expire at the end of September, Congress must act now to strengthen and modernize the program. Lawmakers need to hear from people like you who care about farming, wildlife, and rural America. 📣 Tap the link in our bio and make your voice heard today! #quailforever #thehabitatorganization

Quail Fact Friday! Research across the Northern Sierra Nevada Mountains and Southern Cascades has found a surprising relationship between severe fire and mountain quail occupancy. Studies show mountain quail numbers peak within 10 years after a major fire. This boom is likely tied to the regeneration of shrubs that quail rely on for food and cover. But fire isn’t the only factor. Regional population dynamics, influenced heavily by weather, also shape quail occupancy. To better understand these patterns, scientists are turning to large-scale acoustic monitoring programs that track the connections between quail, forest structure, fire severity, and time since a fire has occurred. The lesson? As wildfire dynamics shift, some species will lose and others will win – and for mountain quail, high-severity fire can open the door to better habitat.
