Iowa plays its part in nationwide Pheasants Forever success

A rooster pheasant walks the edge of the Welch Lake Waterfowl Production Area in Iowa shortly after being purchased by Pheasants Forever in 2020. This WPA adds to a complex of public lands in northwest Iowa contributing to hunter access, water quality, diverse habitat and is an economic driver for the region. (Submitted photo)

To pheasant hunters and wildlife enthusiasts, there is nothing more beautiful than native grassland habitat, alive with a myriad of different wildlife populations.

That was the vision of a small group of outdoor enthusiasts, who in 1982, created an organization named Pheasants Forever (PF). It gained the reputation as the “habitat organization” and for good reason. Iowa is certainly a strong state when it comes to PF. There are 100 local PF chapters, two Quail Forever chapters and two student PF chapters within Iowa’s 99 counties.
