| Volunteerism is at the core of Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever, it’s the sharp end of the shovel and the foundation on which our organization is built. Therefore, volunteer-led habitat focused events aren’t new or surprising, but the way chapters rallied around our first annual Hands-On Habitat event was inspiring.
Throughout the country more than 90 events involving new and seasoned participants alike took place in conjunction with Earth Day. Our chapters, volunteers, and members truly rallied to the idea of making a difference in their local community. Whether big or small, all of the projects had the singular focus of improving our favorite upland landscapes and at the end of the day, that’s exactly why The Habitat Organization exists.
Trash was picked up, barbed wire fences were taken down, access to water was improved, seed was planted, invasive species were removed, and more. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. |
