With the majority of the land base in Alabama held by private landowners, the management of these lands is essential for enhancing and sustaining bobwhite quail and other natural resources. To accomplish this goal, a partnership was formed between the Alabama Forestry Commission, Alabama TREASURE Forest Association, Alabama Wildlife Federation, The Longleaf Alliance, and the U.S. Forest Service to provide technical assistance to private landowners. The partners are committed to working with landowners to improve quail habitat and promote wildlife conservation and natural resource stewardship. Because every tract of land is unique, there is not a fixed formula for bobwhite habitat management. The landowner assistance program offers landowners an opportunity to work with professional wildlife biologists to develop a specific strategy to improve quail habitat on their property. For landowners interested in the TREASURE Forest Program biologists work closely with professional foresters to integrate multiple-use planning to accomplish landowner goals. To be eligible for assistance, landowners must own a minimum of 10 acres of forestland. For more information about the TREASURE Forest Program or to request assistance contact the biologist near you.
