Quail Fact Friday!💡 As we celebrate Build a Wildlife Area Week (BAWA), let’s talk about the incredible impact of habitat conservation and what it means for our favorite upland birds. Did you know Quail Forever has helped conserve over 229,000 acres of land through our BAWA program? That’s a huge win for habitat, and has big implications for quail. Here’s how it works: In high-quality habitat, the home range of a bobwhite quail covey is about 40 acres. While not all BAWA land occurs in quail country, that many acres has the potential to support over 5,500 coveys of quail! It shows that with proper conservation efforts, we can create landscapes that support thousands of thriving coveys! Join us in continuing to protect and expand quail habitat! #quailforever #quail #bobwhitequail #quailfactfriday

This year, we are celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, a critical tool for conserving habitat and increasing access to public lands. The success of conservation programs like LWCF, the North American Wetlands Conservation Act, and others are the result of strong advocacy from conservationists, hunters and anglers, and private landowners. Your support of Build a Wildlife Area® will allow us to continue building strong relationships with federal, state, and local agencies to utilize these funds for permanent protection and public access.

As part of Build A Wildlife Area (BAWA) Week we are highlighting our most recent acquisition of public land through the BAWA program. Yesterday Tuesday September 24tt the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) officially dedicated the Berrier Tract addition at the Linscomb Wildlife Area on Tuesday, Sept. 24, in partnership with Pheasants Forever, Quail Forever, the Missouri Prairie Foundation and Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Outdoor Fund. This 510-acre stretch was purchased through the Build a Wildlife Area program with Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever and was made possible in large part with generous donations to MDC from the late Dr. Harry and Lina Berrier, for whom the tract is named.
