NEXT GENERATION OF FOREVER: chapter volunteers are the backbone of our organizations. They represent our boots on the ground, the pointy end of the spear, and provide the energy and passion that make our grassroots model and overall mission of upland habitat conservation thrive. That’s why we’re humbled and proud to share “The Next Generation of Forever.” Throughout this fall and winter we’ll be celebrating select up-and-coming young volunteers from throughout the country who truly represent the future of our organizations. They have not only taken the ceremonial torch, but reignited the flame and are sprinting forward with it. So please join us in honoring and acknowledging "The Next Generation of Forever." https://bit.ly/3DAYHlc

FOR THE LOVE OF QUAIL - LIFELINES: HOLDING TIGHT TO WHAT LIFTS YOU "I can’t say that any one person or one moment threw me the lifeline of bird hunting; of fall days spent first alone — then alone with a dog — trying to leave the fears and insecurities of teenage life behind as I searched for feathers and solace and answers in the overgrown fencerows and shaggy, doomed, soon-to-be-sub-divided fields of my youth. Perhaps it wasn’t even thrown to me but was there all along, and I simply needed to grasp it. Some lifelines aren’t recognized as such until they need to be."
