Central Oklahoma Habitat Projects and Goals
Since the formation of our chapter in late 2005, Central Oklahoma
89ers Chapter has strived to look for those habitat projects and
efforts that can most benefit quail - whether it be through direct
donations to support the Oklahoma Wildlife Department's habitat
projects, various game research foundations and organizations,
education to the public and our youth programs to perpetuate future
generations' habitat efforts or working with local landowners and
private corporations. Click here to view how
our chapter has spent the fundraising dollars that have been raised
through our chapter fundraising efforts. We are most excited to
announce a new initiative to duplicate the efforts and success of our
sister chapter,
Indian Territories Quail Forever Chapter, and model
after their
POWER program.
What is the POWER program? In a nutshell, it is Quail Forever working
together with private landowners and utility/gas/oil companies to work
together in determining if and how to change utility right-of-ways
into habitat buffer zones that can make a great impact on local quail
populations.

Research has been started in other states that indicate that this
method of habitat conservation effort can be one of the most
significant things we can do to positively impact quail populations.

research study regarding this topic. If you own,
represent or work for an organization that deals with right of ways
and habitat restoration and would like to make a difference for quail
populations, please email us at
