Start a Pheasants Forever Chapter

How is a chapter formed?

Chapters are formed by committed groups that have an interest in seeing upland wildlife habitat improved. After initial consultation with a Pheasants Forever regional representative, the group generates interest in an organizational meeting by inviting people from the local community to attend a chapter start gathering. The Pheasants Forever regional representative will conduct the meeting/seminar. Although successful chapters have been established with fewer individuals, it is best to have 10-20 people at the initial meeting. Other individuals can be added later to this core of workers and potential officers.

Who should be included?

All persons interested in upland wildlife. Where possible, involve business and professional people for organizational and financial expertise. Generally, a cross-section of individuals representing all segments of the community will ensure chapter success. Try to involve farmers, landowners, state wildlife biologists and NRCS, FSA representatives as well.

What are the responsibilities of the chapters?

Chapters sign a charter agreement requiring them to hold one (1) annual fundraising event where Pheasants Forever membership is included in the ticket price to the event.
