Will be responsible for state team members and habitat delivery programs
Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are proud to announce the promotion of Jackson Martini to Louisiana state coordinator. In his new role, Martini will drive habitat programs, lead an already talented team of field staff and work closely with partners, local chapters and other stakeholders. This work will ensure habitat continues to be recognized as a critically important driver of abundant wildlife populations while supporting sustainable agriculture, healthy soil and clean water.
“Jack has been an incredible asset to our team in Colorado,” said Tim Caughran, Quail Forever’s director of conservation delivery. “Now with this move to the south he’ll be able to help grow the organization in a key quail state. I look forward to seeing what he can do in Louisiana.”
Prior to joining Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever, Martini worked for the University of Missouri as a wild turkey research specialist and an elk research crew leader. He joined The Habitat Organization in December 2019 as a Farm Bill biologist in Colorado, and was promoted to senior Farm Bill wildlife biologist in fall 2021. He holds a bachelor’s degree in wildlife and fisheries science from Pennsylvania State University.
Martini will now coordinate and lead state level habitat efforts in Louisiana. He’ll ensure effective conservation delivery throughout Louisiana’s quail range on both public and private lands. Martini will also help build new and existing landscape-level habitat initiatives.
"The mentoring I’ve received since I joined Pheasants Forever is outstanding,” Martini said. “It’s given me the confidence to take on a new role in a new state, and I couldn’t be more excited to get to work in Louisiana.”
