About Kinnickinnic Pheasants Forever
Kinnickinnic Pheasants Forever Chapter was founded amongst upland hunters and sportsmen and women in our community. Our goal is to provide those avid outdoorsmen and women an opportunity to assist in the protection and enhancement of pheasants and other upland bird populations around the local area.
Youth
Welcome to the next generation in conservation and pheasant hunting enthusiasts. In efforts to help our younger generation play a larger role in our efforts to conserve and provide habitat for future generations, our chapter provides today's youth with opportunities to learn about what Pheasants Forever is truly about. Our chapter partners with local schools, holding educational pollinator events where students learn about the importance of habitat and assist in plating native seed. Every fall our chapter holds a youth game fair providing participants with a wide array of outdoor events, including a mentored pheasant hunt.
Habitat Projects
Kinnickinnic Pheasants Forever's members are truly passionate about creating, preserving and restoring habitat that benefits pheasants, quail and other upland wildlife. This unique model empowers local chapters with the responsibility to determine how 100 percent of their locally-raised conservation funds will be spent. Projects for several area public lands are planned for spring of 2023. Keep an eye the habitat section for details.
