Supporting habitat conservation on private lands throughout The Sunflower State
Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are happy to announce Davis Ostermeyer and Brenna Riley will both be serving as Farm Bill wildlife biologist managers in Kansas. Together, they will foster relationships with local, state, and national government agencies and programs, help conserve wildlife habitat on private lands, and lead the current biologist team to further success in The Sunflower State.
“We can’t wait to see how these two will flourish in their new roles,” said Eran Sandquist, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s director of conservation delivery for the Midwest region. “This position is new in Kansas, and I am confident they will exceed expectations to do a spectacular job at helping their team thrive.”
For nearly the last five years, Ostermeyer has been employed by PF & QF in Kansas. First, he served as a private lands habitat specialist followed by his role as conservation delivery specialist for the Flint Hills ecoregion. He attended Truman State University and received a bachelor’s degree in biology.
“I’m really looking forward to working with the great Farm Bill wildlife biologist team in Kansas,” Ostermeyer said. “I plan to step into this position with all of my knowledge and experience as a biologist, as well as my passion for the Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever mission.”
Riley has worked for Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever since 2022 as a Farm Bill wildlife biologist in Kansas and was previously an assistant professor of biology at Kansas Wesleyan University. Additionally, she has B.S. and M.S. degrees in biology from Fort Hays University.
“I’ve had the unique experience of watching the biologist team in Kansas grow,” Riley said. “I’m incredibly excited for the chance to facilitate this growth and face new challenges for habitat conservation.”
