Pheasants Forever, INC

Pheasants Forever is a national upland habitat conservation organization with a chapter serving Gloversville and Fulton County. Founded in 1982, it works to conserve pheasants, quail and other wildlife through habitat improvement, public access, education and advocacy, and its local chapters raise and spend money on projects in their own areas.

Nationally the organization counts more than 740 chapters and 400,000 members, and reports over 31 million acres improved and 247,000 acres acquired and opened to the public. Its Build a Wildlife Area program buys land, restores it and turns it over for permanent public access.
