PERRY, OK – The First Annual Land Run Chapter of Quail Forever fundraising banquet will be held at the Noble County Fairgrounds on Saturday evening July 17, 2021 starting at 6:00 pm featuring speaker Dwayne Elmore, OSU Extension Wildlife Specialist, Quail Expert and Bollenbach Chair in Wildlife Management combined with a BBQ dinner, live auction, raffles, multiple gun drawings and more for an evening of entertainment that goes to benefit
local efforts for bettering wildlife habitat with a special focus on the beloved pastime of quail and quail hunting.
Oklahoma Quail Forever and Pheasants Forever chapters have been forming across Oklahoma to engage conservationists and hunters to help improve declining quail and pheasant populations in Oklahoma throughout the state. The organization gives their local chapters 100% of the decision making as to how their fundraising dollars are spent for local (emphasis on local), state and national projects and initiatives.
Having people who care about quail and quail habitat is critical to rebuilding populations – this is why Quail Forever and Pheasants Forever is a stand-alone leader for upland wildlife habitat conservation. Since 2005, 19 Quail Forever chapters in Oklahoma and 1 Pheasants Forever chapter have formed to make an impact to benefit quail and other wildlife in Oklahoma.
Collectively, as part of this conservation success story, with more than $400,000 spent plus another $175,000 matching grant dollars for more than $575,000 that has been put towards
projects that benefit upland birds and other wildlife in Oklahoma along with R-3 and youth outreach program in getting more kids outdoors. Local chapters work in conjunction with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma Prescribed Burn Association, NRCS, Audubon, Noble Research Institute and many other partners to ensure quail remain at the center of Oklahoma’s rich outdoor heritage. Participation in all events help make a difference for our upland birds and Oklahoma’s habitat.
