Restoring, enhancing, and protecting critical upland wildlife habitat is our core mission. From butterflies & bees to quail & pheasants, we exist to ensure quality habitat supports abundant wildlife. But did you know public access is also an organizational pillar? Creating new landscapes and opportunities for wildlife, hunters, recreationists, and bird dogs to enjoy is pivotal work for The Habitat Organization. And that's the goal of QF's signature Build a Wildlife Area program. Interested in becoming a public land creator this week? TAKE ACTION for Build a Wildlife Area Week! https://bit.ly/3Cmlp0f

Fall 2022 QFJ COVER REVEAL! “Best of all he loved the fall...” That oft-quoted bit of Hemingway that I bet all of us have read and most of us agree with is well-established in the upland writing canon. It's a favorite, especially this time of year, when the turning of the season and all it implies weighs heavily on the mind as anticipation of days in the field doing what we love grows stronger as opening days approach. Aaron Black-Schmidt’s dramatic cover photo captures everything that moves us about bird hunting in the crisp air of fall; the sheer scope and sense of place, the moment, the certainty that this is where you belong, right here, in this moment. How can you not be moved by that? With stories that run the gamut from a backcountry Arizona quail adventure to searching for public land bobs in South Carolina, the fall issue is a celebration of what we love most about this time of year. But if you're not yet a QF member you've got to hurry, because you've only got until Friday to join to ensure getting the fall issue! Join at the link: https://quailforever.org/join
