Protecting Pennsylvania’s Wild Places: Support the Build A Wildlife Area Projects

Pheasant hunters and bird dog enthusiasts across Pennsylvania—this is your chance to make a lasting impact.

Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are calling on conservation-minded individuals to support two exciting new projects in the Keystone State. Through the Build A Wildlife Area (BAWA) program, nearly 200 acres of prime wildlife habitat in Elk and Schuylkill Counties have been newly acquired—and now need your support to fully restore and open them to the public.

Why These Projects Matter

These two properties may seem modest in size, but their impact is far-reaching. Here’s what your support helps achieve:

• Expanding Access to Public Lands
  These acres connect with nearby Pennsylvania Game Lands, expanding outdoor opportunities for hunters, hikers, and birdwatchers alike.

• 🌾 Restoring Vital Grassland Habitat
  Grasslands are among the most threatened ecosystems in the U.S. These properties will help bring back native grasses and open landscapes that support pheasants, songbirds, pollinators, and more.

• 🏞 Bringing Nature Closer to People
  Located near densely populated areas, these lands will provide more Pennsylvanians with easy access to nature and recreation.

A Track Record You Can Trust

Thanks to generous members, donors, and local chapters, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever have already protected over 229,000 acres of upland habitat nationwide. Each of those acres is now permanently conserved and open for public use. That’s the mission behind the Build A Wildlife Area program: secure critical habitat and make it accessible to everyone.

How You Can Help

Your donation directly supports land acquisition, habitat restoration, and long-term stewardship of these properties. Whether you give $10 or $1,000, every dollar is an investment in conservation and access.

➡️ Put your dollars to work—help protect Pennsylvania’s wild places and ensure they stay open for future generations.
