Pheasants Forever will mark 30 years of wildlife habitat conservation on Aug. 5, 2012. First incorporated in 1982, the organization will officially celebrate the milestone at the National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic in Minneapolis Feb. 15-17, 2013.
“From 0 to 8.5 million acres of wildlife habitat conservation in 30 years is a testament to the passion people have for Pheasants Forever’s mission,” said Howard Vincent, who started as a PF volunteer and has served as its president and CEO for the past 12 years. “The challenges working against habitat protection have never been greater, but with more chapters than ever, more members than ever, a program efficiency of 91.7 percent and 225 fulltime employees – more than half of them biologists working with landowners at a local level – Pheasants Forever is poised to do even more for wildlife in our next 30 years.”
