BIOLOGIST CORNER
WORKING WITH LANDOWNERS ONE-ON-ONE
Quail Forever's Farm Bill Biologist Program is designed to educate farmers and landowners about the benefits of conservation programs, as well as assist those landowners after programs have been implemented. We call it the ‘One Stop Shop’ for anything conservation and wildlife-related.
WHAT OUR BIOLOGISTS DO:
Accelerate enrollment in U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Bill conservation programs, like the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP)
Add wildlife technical assistance in USDA offices to assist the Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS), Farm Service Agency (FSA) and other conservation partners with delivering conservation programs to landowners
