Focusing on conservation across Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma
The Habitat Organization is proud to know that our wildlife habitat conservation mission positively impacts communities nationwide. Our priorities directly align with our national partner, Equity Bank, which has created many habitat success stories across Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
Throughout the past two years, Equity Bank has contributed to multiple aspects of mission delivery, provided funding for conservation programs, and supported several events. This past year in particular has produced great accomplishments.
In 2025 alone, PF & QF team members had 5,355 landowner contacts across these four states and planned habitat on 236,187 acres. Through habitat management techniques, 27,757 acres were restored or enhanced to benefit quail, pheasants and other wildlife who depend on upland habitat.
Over 200 outreach events were held which included 12,595 participants to further engage communities, providing education on the importance of wildlife habitat conservation.
The Kansas Corners for Wildlife program thrived with extra support. Over 300 corners are now enrolled, which creates a total of 2,097 acres of habitat. Additionally, a portion of these acres are open to the public for upland hunting. Through the Build a Wildlife Area® program, PF & QF added 510 acres to the Linscomb Wildlife Area in St. Clair County, Missouri.
Equity Bank also showed commitment to the 2025 National Pheasant Fest and Quail Classic by sponsoring the very first Bobwhite Ball and serving as the presenting Family Day partner. Equity Bank has stepped up in a big way to support our mission, and their local communities.
Thank you to Equity Bank for their continued support of wildlife habitat conservation, rural communities, conservation education, public access, and grassroots efforts.
