Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever recently met with BLM Director Tracy Stone-Manning in Washington, D.C. to discuss and map out conservation priorities moving forward into the new year, which include collaboration of QF and BLM’s fire and fuels teams, and strategizing funding to benefit additional upland bird species such as sage grouse, chukar, Hungarian partridge, and sharptails. Additionally, we had the opportunity to discuss the following: Public Lands Rule: Introduced in the spring of 2023, the “Public Lands Rule” would create a conservation leasing mechanism to use on BLM property that may strengthen the ability to ensure healthy landscapes, abundant wildlife habitat, clean water, and balanced decision-making on our nation’s public lands. Wildlife Guzzlers: The organization’s Government Affairs team relayed to BLM frustrations that our California and Nevada chapters are experiencing with guzzler maintenance and implementation. Our southern California chapters, in particular, have had difficulty receiving approval to restore and implement guzzlers on BLM lands, after many years of successfully working with the agency to access these wilderness locations.

Quail Forever and Pheasants Forever are proud to announce the organization’s 2023 Annual Report, highlighted by a record-setting 2.5 million acres of wildlife habitat conservation delivery over the past year. The new mission benchmark was made possible by a strong network of local chapters, partners, and team members helping complete 5,195 habitat projects and working with more than 37,000 landowners to meet their voluntary wildlife objectives. 🔗 Link in our bio to see the full report. “Habitat, heritage, and harmony are the themes of this year’s Annual Report,” stated Marilyn Vetter, president and CEO of Quail Forever and Pheasants Forever. “Habitat is our mission, we foster outdoor heritage through this critical work, and we continually strive for harmony – a balanced landscape for wildlife, landowners, hunters, and Mother Nature. We delivered in spades on these themes throughout 2023.” The Habitat Organization and its passionate community of volunteers and partners generated critical dollars for upland wildlife conservation over the past year – more than $114 million, with $97.6 million going directly to the nonprofit’s mission. This equates to one of the highest efficiency ratings of America’s conservation groups at an impressive 89 percent. Quail Forever and Pheasants Forever’s full Annual Report will be available online and published in the Spring 2024 issues of the Quail Forever Journal and Pheasants Forever Journal. #Pheasantsforever #Quailforever #Conservation #WildlifeHabitat #WildlifeConservation #Pheasants #Quail

Quail Fact Friday!💡 While very rare in nature (so rare we couldn’t find a photo of one in the wild) , albinistic examples of bobwhites (or “albinos”) appear in museums and natural history collections. Occasional accounts of “white coveys” appear in southern newspapers ranging from the 1920’s-1940’s. Reports of an entirely white covey came from Pavo, Georgia, in the late 1920’s. An investigation by the conservationist and pioneering forest ecologist, Herbert L. Stoddard confirmed the report. “Not only did a white covey frequent the section for two consecutive seasons, but albinistic examples had been noted at times in the vicinity for several years,” Stoddard wrote. One of the albinistic quail was later shot, mounted, and displayed in Pavo. #quailforever #quail #bobwhitequail #quailfactfriday

This year, for the first time, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever will recognize a national “Volunteer of the Year.” The award celebrates the very best the organization has to offer — the members and volunteers who optimize the Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever mission, who seek to protect and grow our wildlife habitat, and who help ensure our heritage continues for generations to come. We have chosen eight finalists (Four Pheasants Forever and four Quail Forever) for the award. The winner will be announced at the upcoming National Pheasant Fest and Quail Classic, which runs March 1-3 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Over the course of the next four weeks we’ll get to know each finalist, and celebrate their accomplishments in the world of habitat conservation. The next volunteer we’ll highlight is Edward Beck, from the Chesapeake Bay Chapter of Quail Forever in Maryland. Learn more about Edward and his dedication as a volunteer at the link below.
