The Wildlife Habitat Federation (WHF) was formed in 2004 to bring together the best specialists and techniques for restoring and preserving wildlife in South Central Texas. Landowners want more wildlife but in many cases are unaware of the expertise, programs and information available to them. They may also wish to understand or actually be shown the economic benefits of having more wildlife and how this can be incorporated into their present operations.

Audubon Texas encouraged the formation of WHF by designating our region as a priority zone and by assigning a biologist to assist through its Quail Conservation Initiative. Improving habitat for quail becomes the common denominator for improving wildlife generally because better quail habitat benefits virtually all indigenous game species, including, but not limited to, dove, deer, wild turkey, songbirds and rabbits.

WHF's aim is to provide individuals and wildlife associations or cooperatives with the right facts on how, when and where to plan and implement wildlife restoration programs. WHFís specific objectives are 1) to restore and enhance contiguous tracts and corridors of native habitat in the Lower Colorado River Basin and adjacent areas and 2) to provide educational opportunities to assist landowners in optimizing productive use of their resources while significantly enhancing habitat.
