The word "sustainability" shows up in a lot of places these days, but hunters have been focused on sustainability for generations. Now, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are demonstrating how delivering on our habitat mission provides tremendous benefits well beyond the hunting public - and those broader audiences are taking note. Diverse audiences benefit from this program, and to continue this growth we’re attracting more support from some unexpected places. Our BAWA projects provide quality habitat and preserve our outdoor heritage by increasing hunting opportunities, and they’re also an outstanding sustainability solution. The thing is, our Build a Wildlife Area® program is an incredible success story, but the story is incomplete – at least for now. Our pheasants, quail, pollinators, and other upland wildlife have historically lost so much habitat, the way forward requires us to continue to gain much more ground.

Leveraging multiple public and private partnerships, Pheasants Forever was recently able to acquire a 1,300-acre addition to the Carp Swamp Wildlife Management Area. The acquisition adjoins the existing 14,000-acre public lands complex in Lake of the Woods County in northern Minnesota, only a few miles from the Canadian border. Your support helps projects like this come to life. Now through September 27th your contribution to Build a Wildlife Area will be increased X 20 to create more public lands like the Carp Swamp Wildlife Management Area Addition! quailforever.org/bawa To learn more about the recent Carp Swamp Wildlife Management Area acquisition, watch the full film at the link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQqugZqazqk
