Pheasants Forever (PF) and Quail Forever (QF) are both grassroots, volunteer, membership-based nonprofit organizations. The mission of PF and QF is dedicated to the conservation of pheasants, quail and other wildlife through habitat improvements, public awareness, education and land management policies and programs.
Both groups believe in investing in the future of conservation though “No Child Left Indoors” initiative. The organizations work with members, chapters and conservation partners to provide opportunities for youth and their families to share in outdoor programs and projects:
Both PF and QF support Project ChildSafe.
Project ChildSafe is the largest, most comprehensive firearm safety education program in the U.S. It was developed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade association for the firearms industry, and is committed to promoting genuine firearm safety through the distribution of safety education messages and free firearm Safety Kits. The kits include a cable-style gun-locking device and a brochure (also available in Spanish) that discusses safe handling and secure storage guidelines to help deter access by unauthorized individuals.
