Quail Habitat
If you are interested in managing for bobwhite quail on your land, your first step should be to contact your local MDC Private Land Conservationist (PLC). These trained professionals can discuss your options and develop and plan specific to your property that meets your management objectives. You can find the contact information for the PLC in your area here.
Next, check out the Missouri Department of Conservation's website for some great information on wildlife management.
And finally, be sure to check with your local PF/QF chapter for additional assistance. Many chapters offer cost share opportunities to help cover the costs of your management efforts.
Quail Forever's unique system empowers county chapters with the responsibility to determine how 100% of their locally raised conservation funds will be spent. QF, and sister pheasant division, are the only national conservation organizations that operate through this truly grassroots structure. As a result, grassroots chapter volunteers are able to see the fruits of their efforts locally, while belonging to a larger national organization with a voice on federal and state conservation policy. This is a unique distinction. Last year alone, those chapter volunteers completed over 20,000 habitat projects.
Similarly, Quail Forever has always recognized the impact federal Farm Bill policy has on wildlife habitat. Consequently, QF has played an active role in Farm Bill policy development and implementation, which includes the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). CRP is this country's single most effective conservation program benefiting soil, water, and wildlife. Pheasants Forever has more than 110,000 members in over 600 local chapters across the United States and Canada. The national headquarters is located in St. Paul, Minnesota where the organization was founded.
