Pikes Peak Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever Chapter 247

The Pheasants Forever - Pikes Peak Chapter 247 was founded in 1993. We are the oldest CO chapter and affiliated with the national Pheasants Forever / Quail Forever organization as well as the Colorado State Pheasants Forever organization. Chapter 247 is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado serving approximately 300 members from El Paso and surrounding counties. In 2010, we acquired Quail Forever membership for Chapter 247 providing additional opportunity for our members and aligning the chapter with the national organization’s focus on Pheasants, Quail, and upland habitat conservation.

Over the years the chapter has worked to develop upland habitat in complement with wetlands and soil conservation. The intent is to provide a more diverse ecosystem which produces a healthier environment for all of us to enjoy. Recent endeavors include:

• Working with our sister chapter (Kit Carson County, CO) on various habitat projects
• Contributing over $10,000 to habitat improvement projects
• Providing Youth Events to educate our next generation of conservationists
• Hosting an Annual Fundraiser Banquet to generate funds for Chapter 247 activities and aligned interests
• Sharing in the sponsorship of 3 biologists supporting and guiding our CO habitat programs with area farmers, ranchers and organizations

We invite everyone to join in our monthly meeting, annual banquet, fundraising activities, habitat projects, and youth events throughout the year!

Please check our calendar page for information about these and other events.
