When Jim and Janice Kelly purchased their 200-acre property near Sylacauga, Alabama, they weren’t necessarily looking to build a showcase wildlife area. They just wanted a place they could care for and manage with intention. Today, after nearly two decades of consistent management, the Kellys’ property looks and functions very differently. Cost-share support from USDA’s Natural Resource Conservation Service’s (NRCS) Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and Working Lands for Wildlife, along with technical assistance from Quail Forever, helped accelerate their stewardship by easing financial burdens and aligning their goals with wildlife habitat. Now, their property booms with native understory, a longleaf pine restoration, and the return of bobwhite quail. Click the link in our bio to read the full story and to learn more about WLFW.

The new South Carolina Sandhills Prescribed Fire Cooperative (PFC) recently completed its first burn near Kershaw, marking a milestone for landowners and conservation partners in South Carolina working to restore fire to the landscape. The launch of this new cooperative marks the state’s third PFC, and was a collaborative effort between the The South Carolina Forestry Commission, Quail Forever, Clemson Extension, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Lee County Soil & Water Conservation District, Tall Timbers, a Research Station & Land Conservancy, The Longleaf Alliance and NRCS. PFCs are a critical tool for getting more fire on the ground and improving habitat for species like bobwhite. With a limited number of private burn contractors available, PFCs empower landowners to work together by sharing equipment, labor, and expertise to safely and efficiently apply fire on their properties. For more information about the South Carolina Sandhills Prescribed Fire Cooperative or how to become involved, contact South Carolina prescribed burn program coordinator, Ryan Bean, at his email rbean@clemson.edu. 📸 : Rachel Holt, QF communications specialist

Quail Fact Friday - Odontophoridae is the scientific? family that includes New World quail - and the name is surprisingly literal. "Odonto" comes from the Greek word for tooth "Phoridae" means bearing or carrying Together, the name refers to a shared trait across the family: a short, stout, slightly curved bill with fine "toothed" or serrated edges. This adaptation helps these birds thrive as dietary generalists, feeding on seeds, insects, and vegetation. Quail Fact Friday is presented by Irish Setter Boots #quailforever #quailfactfriday
