Pheasants Forever Canada, Inc.
Pheasants Forever Canada, Inc. (registration number 894331669RR0001) is a nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to preserving upland game bird habitats, particularly ring-necked pheasants, quail, and associated wildlife across Canada. Operating under the "The Habitat Organization" ethos, it focuses on habitat restoration, public education, and conservation advocacy to counteract threats from urban sprawl, agricultural expansion, and industrial development[2][5].

History and Mission
Founded as part of the broader Pheasants Forever network established in the U.S. in 1982, Pheasants Forever Canada emphasizes grassroots initiatives tailored to local ecosystems. Its mission centers on conserving and creating habitats that benefit pheasants, quail, and other wildlife while promoting biodiversity and sustainable land-use practices[2][3][5].

Structure and Operations
The organization operates through decentralized local chapters, including prominent groups like Pheasants Forever Calgary, Chinook Pheasants Forever (Medicine Hat), and Red Deer Pheasants Forever. Chapters retain full control over locally raised funds, enabling targeted habitat projects such as tree planting, food plot development, and public land conservation[4][5]. Annual banquets serve as primary fundraising events, supporting habitat restoration and youth conservation programs[4].

Conservation Efforts
Key campaigns include Save the Edges, which promotes preserving natural vegetation along roadsides and rights-of-way to maintain critical wildlife corridors[2]. Projects often involve partnerships with farmers, ranchers, and government agencies to integrate habitat conservation into agricultural and rural landscapes[2][4].

Pheasants Forever Canada collaborates with its U.S. counterpart and Quail Forever, leveraging a combined North American network of over 750 chapters and 150,000+ members to advance cross-border habitat initiatives[3][5].
