Quail Forever Chesapeake Bay(MD&DE) Chapter’s mission is to conserve bobwhite quail and other upland wildlife through habitat improvement, public access, education, and conservation advocacy. UNIQUE CHAPTER MODEL
Did you know that Quail Forever / Pheasants Forever empowers local chapters with the responsibility to determine how 100 percent of locally raised conservation funds will be spent, and is the only national conservation organization that operates through this truly grassroots structure? As a result, volunteers in Maryland & Delaware can see the fruits of our efforts- locally, while belonging to a larger national organization with a voice on federal and state conservation policy. Each dollar you spend on a meal ticket, live auction bid, raffle ticket, or other fundraiser will directly benefit your local Chesapeake Bay Chapter of Quail Forever. To put it simply, more Quail Forever members equals more local projects and initiatives, more acres of habitat, more wildlife, more public access to land, and more opportunities to mentor new conservation minded sportsmen and sportswomen right here in our Chesapeake Bay region. QUAIL FOREVER: "THE HABITAT ORGANIZATION"
Two factors affect quail populations above all others—habitat and weather. While we can’t control the weather, we can influence the quality and quantity of upland habitat. Habitat is what supports long-term strong and healthy quail populations. HABITAT CONSERVATION ADVOCACY
Quail Forever’s mission is directly tied to a strong framework of federal conservation programs, including the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). In addition to advocating for strong conservation policies in the Conservation Title of the Federal Farm Bill and at the state level, Quail Forever and Pheasants Forever employ more than 100 farm bill biologists across quail and pheasant country who work with landowners to implement these conservation programs. HABITAT CONSERVATION EDUCATION
Who will carry the conservation torch in years to come? Chesapeake Bay Chapter of Quail Forever is dedicated to passing on a land ethic and our outdoor heritage to the next generation. Youth interest in hunting and shooting sports can lead to a lifetime of outdoor appreciation and conservation support.
