The 89er Chapter of Quail Forever is an invaluable partner in conservation with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation and sportsmen. It is a non-profit habitat conservation organization founded in 2005 as part of Pheasants Forever in response to the continuing decline of quail populations locally and throughout their natural range, working as a valuable partner with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation and Oklahoma State University research biologists. Just this month the chapter donated $8,000 to the Wildlife Department for equipment purchases and habitat work at Cross Timbers Wildlife Management Area in southern Oklahoma, and  many other donations totaling thousands of dollars and many volunteer hours have continually benefitted wildlife across the state.

Oklahoma Dept of Wildlife Conservation

The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is an agency of the state of Oklahoma responsible for managing and protecting Oklahoma's wildlife population and their habitats. The Department is under the control of the Wildlife Conservation Commission, an 8-member board appointed by the Governor of Oklahoma with the approval of the Oklahoma Senate. All members serve eight year terms. The Commission, in turn, appoints a Director to serve as the chief administrative officer of the Department.
