Quail Forever (QF) is dedicated to the protection and enhancement of quail, pheasant, and other upland wildlife through habitat improvement, public awareness, education, and advocacy for solid land management policy.

Quail Forever is a non-profit organization dedicated to quail conservation and education. It was started in the summer of 2005 by its parent organization, Pheasants Forever (PF). Quail Forever will build on PF's track record of successful local chapter development, localized habitat initiatives, and national public policy leadership and advocacy. Plans for the new organization include recruitment of additional wildlife biologists and a phased chapter development plan.

In forming QF, Pheasants Forever plans to deploy the same organizational model - localized decision-making with lean, low-overhead central administration. Pheasants Forever members have been responsible for delivering more than 2 million acres of wildlife habitat in those shared habitat ranges.

The Southeast Quail Study Group (SEQSG), a technical branch of the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, is a working group composed of many of the country's foremost bobwhite quail biologists. The SEQSG developed the Northern Bobwhite Conservation Initiative (NBCI), the first-ever national quail recovery plan. The NBCI provides a landscape-scale road map to restore quail populations to their 1980 levels through habitat conservation.

"With our experience in enrolling bobwhite buffer acres and the recent completion of the Northern Bobwhite Conservation Initiative plan, the time was right for us to lend our habitat conservation expertise to help implement the NBCI," Vincent said. "We want to do what we can to make a difference for quail and quail hunters before it becomes too late."
