Since 1982, Pheasants Forever has put a priority on acquiring lands that are critically important as wildlife habitat and opening those lands to public hunting and outdoor recreation opportunities.
The Build a Wildlife Area® program is the organization's signature strategy to acquire and restore critical wildlife habitat for public recreation. To date, we’ve opened more than 243,000 acres of permanently protected and publicly accessible upland wildlife habitat.
Public access to hunting ground remains a significant barrier to hunters nationwide. Our PATH program works to incentivize private landowners to improve private land habitat and open it for walk-in hunting.
Whether it’s federal and state agencies or elected officials, we ensure that the voice of the upland community is heard. Our government affairs team is taking strategic steps to protect and expand public hunting access, working in D.C. and state capitals nationwide.
