Why Start a Pheasants Forever Chapter
Pheasants are resident wildlife that require local habitat. So, decisions about habitat development, partnering with agencies and conservation education also must be made locally. When you establish a Pheasants Forever chapter, your PF committee makes the decisions on how to spend 100% of the net funds raised at your banquet events! Some additional reasons why getting active with Pheasants Forever makes sense:
