Oklahoma 89er Chapter of Quail Forever Celebrates Milestone 10th Anniversary

The Central Oklahoma 89er Chapter of Quail Forever will be celebrating its tenth anniversary fundraising banquet on August 15 in Oklahoma City. The local chapter is the first chapter of Quail Forever that was formed to address declining quail populations in Oklahoma and throughout its native range. The event will feature keynote speaker, Howard Vincent, president and CEO of Quail Forever, in addition to games, raffles, and a silent/live auction.

Having people who care about quail and quail habitat is critical to rebuilding populations – this is why Quail Forever and its members are a leader for quail habitat conservation. Since 2005, Quail Forever has established 151 chapters in 27 states, and has impacted 500,000 acres for quail conservation with over 7,000 completed wildlife habitat projects.

The Central Oklahoma 89er Chapter of Quail Forever is included as part of this conservation success story with more than $180,000 spent on wildlife habitat projects benefitting over 50,000 acres for bobwhite quail in Oklahoma. The local chapter works in conjunction with the Oklahoma Prescribed Burn Association, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, Oklahoma State University, and many other partners to ensure quail remain at the center of Oklahoma’s rich outdoor heritage. Help make a difference for bobwhite quail by attending the Oklahoma 89er Quail Forever banquet on August 15.
