Hunters heading to the 2024 National Pheasant Fest will not only step into the rich fields of prairie awaiting them, those who are farmers and ranchers will gain the opportunity to learn about land conservation and habitat benefits. Although hunting is a big focus of this large, national outdoors and conservation show, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever will be on hand to share their habitat and conservation programs. Justin Enfield, a farm bill wildlife biologist with Pheasants Forever, is a member of a growing team of biologists that cover conservation efforts in every county of South Dakota. Thanks to their support, farmers and ranchers learn how to build habitat on their marginal land that’s not only good for birds, they’re connected to programs that will pay for their conservation efforts and practices.

Proud to share the efforts on land conservation from our reporting state of South Dakota.
