Alabama Home to Two New Quail Forever Chapters
Eight Alabama counties now involved in habitat conservation and youth education
June 24, 2008:
Alabama quail enthusiasts have stepped up their quail conservation efforts through the introduction of two new Quail Forever (QF) chapters. The Alabama Covey Rise Chapter of QF and the Black Warrior Chapter of QF – located in central and west Alabama, respectively - are aiming to restore quail habitat while introducing youth conservation education programs within Tallapoosa, Coosa, Tuscaloosa, Bibb, Hale, Greene, Pickens and Fayette counties.
"With both of these chapters focusing their efforts within the central and western regions of Alabama, there is an opportunity to create a lot of progress in the advancement of better land management practices, and this will ultimately help the quail and other wildlife in the area," explained Andy Edwards, Regional Wildlife Biologist for QF. "When you combine the newly passed Farm Bill legislation with the efforts of these two chapters, the benefits for quail will be tremendous."
