Bordered
on the west by Lake Michigan and located in the southwest
corner of Michigan’s lower peninsula, Berrien County’s temperate
climate provides growing conditions that allow for exceptional
fruit, vegetable and grain production. Our chapter’s goal
is to re-introduce the cover and sources of food our rich
region allows - where modern farm practices have to
a great extent eliminated the natural cover that once existed.
|
|
| | |
| Although
Berrien County was never known as a pheasant haven; through
the 70’s, opening day of pheasant season was a regularly observed
ritual, and successful seasons were routine. These memories,
combined with occasional sightings of our favorite bird sprinting
from apple orchard or vineyard to nearby cover spur our efforts
to provide the habitat they deserve.

Pheasants
Forever is the only national wildlife conservation organization
that leaves all of the fundraising dollars at the local, grassroots
level where they were raised. This enables our chapters and
volunteers to see the benefits of their efforts in their own
backyards. Last year alone, those chapter volunteers completed
over 35,000 habitat projects. Similarly, Pheasants Forever has
always recognized the impact federal Farm Bill policy has on
wildlife habitat. |  |
| | |
Consequently, PF
has played an active role in Farm Bill policy development
and implementation, which includes the Conservation Reserve
Program (CRP). CRP is this country's single most effective
conservation program benefiting soil, water, and wildlife.
Pheasants Forever has more than 100,000 members in over 600
local chapters across the United States and Canada. The national
headquarters is located in St. Paul, Minnesota, where the
organization was founded.
