BUILD A WILDLIFE AREA - MINNESOTA

 
Pheasants Forever launched its Build a Wildlife Area program in Minnesota in 2003. Since then, the Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever-led program has resulted in over 5,400 acres of permanently conserved habitat as either state Wildlife Management Areas or federal Waterfowl Production Areas—acres simulatenously opened to public hunting and outdoor recreation.
