April 21, 2024 – Indianapolis, Ind. – Pheasants Forever (PF) is proud to introduce a brand new chapter in Indiana. Covering Boone County on the northwest side of Indianapolis, chapter volunteers are excited to generate involvement in conservation efforts on public lands in their community.
Unique among national conservation organizations, chapters of Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever retain 100 percent decision-making control over fundraising dollars, allowing volunteers to support impactful wildlife habitat projects, public access initiatives and conservation education programs throughout the upland bird range. Pheasants Forever’s new Indiana regional representative, Will Hinshaw, will work closely with the chapter to support the organization’s vision to sustain abundant populations of wild pheasants, quail and other wildlife.
“Boone County PF is ready to make a difference in every aspect of our mission,” Hinshaw said. “They are motivated to grow the Pheasants Forever membership in their community, recruit all demographics into the uplands and work with local landowners to deliver native habitat to the landscape. They also have an engagement event planned this summer with a banquet to follow next spring. They're already planning to host their first Learn to Hunt event as well — we’ve got great things coming in Indiana.”
Residing on the eastern edge of the U.S. pheasant range, volunteers in Boone County will focus on restoring and protecting upland habitat while also supporting all other aspects of Pheasants Forever’s national mission. The chapter will host a pint night this July, and will be announcing meeting dates shortly.
