Pheasants Forever Chapters
When Pheasants Forever was formed in 1982, the founding Board of Directors conceived a simple, and yet, revolutionary concept, unique among conservation organizations. Pheasants Forever created a system of county chapters whereby 100% of the net funds raised by chapters remains at the local level. This provides tremendous incentive to raise money because people can see the direct results of their contributions.
Each Pheasants Forever chapter maintains local control over its funds and establishes its own habitat and education programs, customized to meet the needs of and to benefit the local area.
Pheasants Forever now has over 630 chapters in 29 states across the country. Several chapters also have been formed in Canada. One of the primary benefits of belonging to Pheasants Forever is the opportunity for camaraderie with other people concerned about maintaining and rebuilding the proper habitat for pheasants in your area.
Join an Existing Chapter
When you join an existing Pheasants Forever chapter, you have the opportunity to establish wildlife habitat in your area, attend meetings and participate in fundraising activities.
Pheasants Forever chapter members are a diversified group of hunters, non-hunters, farmers, landowners, conservation enthusiasts and wildlife officials. Chapters usually meet once a month to socialize about hunting, dogs and other common interests - as well as to discuss fundraising events, habitat restoration projects and conservation issues.
The most successful fundraising event for Pheasants Forever chapters is the annual banquet, which features a lively evening of dinner and raffles and auctions for guns, art work, pheasant-related gift items and clothing. Other popular fundraising ideas include wild game dinners, golf tournaments, dog training seminars and shooting events.

- After talking with your Regional Wildlife Biologist, set a meeting date with you and your friends interested in forming a chapter.
- At the meeting, your interested group will elect officers, sign a Chapter Charter Agreement, set a date for your first Annual Banquet and discuss initial ideas for habitat improvement in your area.
