Pheasants Forever stands out among groups because its work benefits the environment and society, beyond the welfare of its species of interest – the ring-necked pheasant. Pheasants Forever promotes and helps to implement agricultural practices and policies that conserve topsoil, protect clean water, sequester atmospheric carbon, provide habitat for nongame wildlife and other hunted game, foster public access, and improve farm productivity.
So, if Pheasants Forever’s national program is admirable, a local PF chapter that continues to strive for those improvements, even after hope for huntable flocks of wild pheasants on its home turf have dimmed, is a group that merits appreciation and praise.
