Pheasants Forever has a legacy of conservation in Ida County

Pheasants Forever is known as “the habitat organization.” Projects sponsored in partnership with NRCS comprise an extensive list: Over 300,000 trees and shrubs planted, 30,000 acres of habitat established to native grasses, and 1,600 acres of food plots established in the 33 years since the chapter began. Careful planning goes into each of these projects to insure longevity, such as providing weed mats for tree plantings. These projects not only improve pheasant habitat, but also habitat for other animals such as pollinating insects.
