BUILD A WILDLIFE AREA - KANSAS

Kansas is a state ranking near the bottom in public land availability. Additionally, the state’s Walk-In-Hunting-Access program has faced challenges presented by the recent acreage drop in Kansas’ Conservation Reserve Program enrollment. It's Quail Forever and Pheasants Forever's goal to add to Kansas' public land baseand conserve valuable wildlfie habitatwith its Build a Wildlife Area program.

The Build a Wildlife Area program in Kansas has resulted in 484 acres that have been opened to public hunting and outdoor recreation.
