Illinois is a state where 95 percent of land is in private ownership. Quail Forever and Pheasants Forever's Build a Wildlife Area program is a way to ensure we'll always have places for the public to enjoy the great outdoors.
To date, the Build a Wildlife Area program in Illinois has resulted in over 1,200 acres that have been opened to public hunting and outdoor recreation.
