Together We Answered the Call! Six years ago, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever unveiled our most ambitious, strategic, science-based and visionary initiative ever: The Call of the Uplands® Campaign. This was our promise to conserve the uplands – one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world – before it was too late. Today we are proud to celebrate the completion of this record-breaking endeavor. Learn more and watch the full film at the link: https://quailforever.org/celebrate Thank you to everyone! The volunteers, members, partners, donors, and employees who make Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever such a powerful force today truly ‘Answered the Call’ to protect upland landscapes. This is a new beginning for more important upland habitat work to come because as our name asserts, our goal is forever. Highlighting mission triumphs as part of Call of the Uplands includes the organizational pillars of habitat, access, education, and advocacy – each play a pivotal role for advancing Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s conservation goals. Campaign mission accomplishments include the following: - More than $565 MILLION committed to the Uplands - Total Acres of Habitat Restored, Enhanced and Protected: Over 11,000,000 - Total Acres of Access (Walk-in Programs, Fee Title, Easements): Over 2,000,000 - Total Education & Outreach Events: Over 16,000 events, reaching over 1,000,000 participants

ACTION ALERT‼️ IOWA RESIDENTS‼️Bad legislation threatens wildlife habitat and public hunting lands in Iowa. Senate File 516 has passed Iowa Senate and is currently being considered by the House. Link below to learn more and make your voice heard. https://www.pheasantsforever.org/BlogLanding/Blogs/Pheasants-Forever/Bad-Legislation-Threatens-Wildlife-Habitat-and-Public-Hunting-Lands-in-Iowa.aspx Due to this direct attempt to jeopardize wildlife habitat on state lands, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are asking for you to immediately voice your opposition to Senate File 516! It has been made clear that Senate File 516 was created with the intent to dramatically limit the Iowa DNR’s ability to protect, restore, and expand our public lands. The bill has passed the Senate and is currently being considered in the Iowa House. It would decrease access to quality habitat and reduce opportunities for current and future generations to enjoy Iowa’s public lands and the wildlife that rely on them. This bill will be discussed at the full House Environmental Protection Committee meeting on Tuesday, March 21. However, there will be no opportunity for public comment, so it is imperative to take action NOW and contact the members of the committee AND your own representative.

🍀 Think habitat this Saint Patrick's Day! Don't just wear green, plant it! The shamrock (aka three-leaved clover) is the national symbol of Ireland and Saint Patrick’s Day. Four-leaf clovers are considered lucky, but they aren’t always easy to find (1 in 10,000). Clover is also a popular perennial food plot for deer and brood habitat for turkey, pheasants, quail and other wildlife. While celebrating St. Patty’s Day, and the onset of spring, consider clover plots for your wildlife and home turf plantings. Many clover varieties can be found in our “Clover Kandy” food plot mix.
