Pheasants Forever national meeting in Kansas City Feb. 17-19

Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -–(Ammoland.com)- Kansas landowners — and those from across the country — will receive free land-use management consultation at Pheasants Forever’s National Pheasant Fest and Quail Classic 2012, in the Kansas City Convention Center Feb. 17-19.

The Landowner Habitat Help Room, sponsored by Best Buy and Geek Squad, will feature the latest technology to evaluate landowner needs.

A dozen work stations featuring large-screen monitors will provide a detailed look at each landowner’s property. The room is designed to give farmers and landowners site-specific information about conservation programs they can implement on their land. Biologists use aerial photography, topography, and soil information for individual planning. Landowners just need to bring the legal description of their property (township, range, and section).

Through one-on-one consultations with leading wildlife experts, landowners have the opportunity to learn about conservation and habitat options on their land available through federal, state, and local programs.

Accompanied by trained Pheasants Forever or Quail Forever biologists or partnering biologists from the Missouri Department of Conservation; the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism; or the U.S. Department of Agriculture, landowners will be educated on ways they can improve their acres for wildlife and even what local, state, and federal conservation programs that qualify for enrollment.

“Your next wildlife habitat project starts at Pheasant Fest,” says Steve Riley, Farm Bill wildlife biologist manager for Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever. “The Landowner Habitat Help Room is one of the many ways Pheasants Forever’s premiere event goes beyond a trade show and becomes an interactive event where wildlife habitat is the main focus, and a lasting impact is made.”

With the most current streaming data available, the Landowner Habitat Help Room will offer topographic and aerial maps on any piece of property in the entire country. For more information, phone Brad Heidel at 651-209-4956 or email bheidel@pheasantsforever.org, or phone Rehan Nana at 651-209-4973 or mail rnana@pheasantsforever.org.
