LANDOWNERS: Do you want more wildlife on your property and a more stable income? The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is a voluntary opportunity paying landowners to plant wildlife habitat on tough-to-farm acres. These acres provide tremendous benefits to quail, pheasants, waterfowl, deer, and pollinators, as well as benefiting soil health and water quality. Don’t delay – CRP closes again on April 17th Learn more by visiting with a QF biologist at the link in our bio or visit www.quailforever.org/crp

Big congratulations to Andy Krieg, Quail Biologist with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (@SCDNR), for receiving the Willie McRae Wildlife Conservation Award, presented by @scquailforever. The award honors individuals who have made a lasting impact on quail and habitat conservation across the Palmetto State – and Andy’s work has done exactly that. Andy has served as the SCDNR Private Lands Biologist since 2017 and is the longest tenured Farm Bill Biologist in the SCDNR Small Game Program’s history. Prior to joining the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division, he spent several years working with the SCDNR Conservation District Program. Today, he not only serves his primary counties, but routinely assists landowners and constituents across the state. Through years of dedication to science-based management, habitat restoration, and landowner partnerships, Andy has helped strengthen the future for bobwhite quail in South Carolina. Conservation is built on long-term commitment, and Andy’s passion and service exemplify exactly what this award represents. Join us in thanking Andy for his leadership and his continued dedication to quail, wildlife, and the land we all care about. #quailforever #thehabitatorganization

Quail Fact Friday - Mountain quail populations have declined across parts of the western Great Basin, especially in southeastern Washington, western Idaho, and eastern Oregon. But there's good news. Mountain quail are strong candidates for translocation thanks to their productivity and large clutch sizes. From 2001-2017, a collaborative effort between the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Oregon State University Game Bird Program restored birds to suitable habitat. Translocated birds were carefully banded, weighed, aged, and fitted with radio transmitters - allowing researchers to track survival, movement, and habitat use. It's an example of how science-based management benefits native quail species. Quail Fact Friday is presented by Irish Setter Boots #quailforever #quailfactfriday

Welcome to “The Puppy Issue” of Quail Forever Journal. Yes, it’s about puppies, but also about what they represent. New partnerships. New opportunities. New beginnings. In many ways, puppies are like upland habitat – there are lessons in steadiness and trust, in knowing when to guide, and when to get out of the way. Puppies teach us to value curiosity over control, joy over expectation, and to enjoy the process. Join us in our habitat mission and become a Quail Forever member by March 10, at the link in our bio to get the issue delivered to your mailbox. ~ @1.ryan.sparks.1, Quail Forever Journal Editor Cover photo by @chrismathan_sportingdogs

A 13-year-old bird dog trainer is funding public access one cookie at a time. At National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic, most conversations revolve around bird dogs, habitat, and the next great upland hunt. This one goes further. Brooke Bartels, a young dog handler deeply involved in NAVHDA International, is turning homemade cookies into real dollars for wildlife habitat and public hunting access.
