The Habitat Organization is proud to know that our wildlife habitat conservation mission positively impacts communities nationwide. Our priorities directly align with our national partner, Equity Bank, which has created many habitat success stories across Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Throughout the past two years, Equity Bank has contributed to multiple aspects of mission delivery, provided funding for conservation programs, and supported several events. This past year in particular has produced great accomplishments by partnering with landowners, enrolling acres in conservation programs, and restoring habitat to benefit quail, pheasants and other wildlife.

Celebrating the North American Wetlands Conservation Act Anniversary in the Uplands If you’re an upland hunter, it’s easy to see the value of NAWCA in the marshes mixed in with prairie. Throughout the Midwest this winter, plenty of roosters will be flushed out of thickly packed and snowy cattail sloughs. And in the spring throughout the Southeast, wetlands will help generate bountiful insect populations – the necessary fuel for newly hatched quail chicks. At least in part, credit for access to the outdoors and resources for wildlife to thrive is due to funding from NAWCA. All conservationists have treasured the past 36 years of this program, and PF & QF can’t wait to see what the next 36 will bring.
