Quail Fact Friday - Wild plum thickets provide everything bobwhite quail need in one tight footprint: escape cover, loafing sites, thermal protection, and food. Their dense, thorny structure shields quail from aerial predators while still allowing easy movement at ground level. Even in winter, plum thickets act as covey headquarters, breaking wind, catching snow, and offering lifesaving cover during extreme cold. Quail Fact Friday is presented by Irish Setter Boots #quailforever #quailfactfriday

Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Headquarters. But what does this partnership mean? USACE is the steward of 12 million acres of public lands and waters, and our team is looking forward to jointly restore and conserve native grasslands, shrubland ecosystems, and timber stands, benefiting various wildlife species and promoting biodiversity. This MOU will allow us to leverage our combined strengths to create even more impactful conservation programs. To learn more, read the blog at the link below. https://bit.ly/4kuNg2e
Each February, Charleston, South Carolina becomes the center of Southern sporting culture, and this conversation explains why the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (@SEWE) has earned that reputation. From quail hunting traditions to world-class sporting art and bird dogs on every corner, SEWE is where upland culture, quail habitat conservation, and delicious food collide. This year, SEWE takes place from February 13-15, 2026. Listeners will hear about the attractions within Quail Forever’s “Quail Classic” at SEWE’s Brittlebank Park, why downtown galleries matter just as much as gear booths, and how hunters, bird dog lovers, conservationists, and families all find their place across multiple venues taking over the entire city of Charleston.

Congratulations to our 2025 Chapter Award winners! Local chapters have been the backbone of Quail Forever since 2005. Each year, a select few are recognized for their outstanding work in habitat, access, membership, advocacy and education and outreach. Each of these chapters and their members represent the best in conservation — and epitomize the Quail Forever mission. We’ll celebrate these incredible chapters, and all of our volunteers at National Pheasant Fest and Quail Classic in Minneapolis on February 21. We hope to see you all there as we celebrate the past, present and future of upland habitat conservation across the country!
