DescWildlife Habitat Initiatives: During the 2025 fiscal year, Pheasants Forever, Inc. completed over 2,500 habitat projects impacting 88,600 acres. Since its inception in 1982, Pheasants Forever has spent $1.34 billion and completed 589,000 habitat projects. These projects include land acquisitions, shelterbelts, wetlands, food plots, nesting cover, tree planting, maintenance and include the purchase of habitat equipment. Following are current year highlights of the various projects completed by Pheasants Forever: Land Acquisitions-Land acquired by, or with the help of, Pheasants Forever is generally donated to state and federal wildlife agencies for public wildlife management areas. During the year, Pheasants Forever spent $16.9 million to help purchase 941 acres of land, including conservation easements Since inception, Pheasants Forever has helped purchase, and put into public domain, more than 205,000 acres of land at a cost of $341 million. Shelterbelts- A well designed shelterbelt can effectively protect wildlife from exposure to harsh weather conditions. Shelterbelts also provide loafing, feeding, roosting and escape cover for pheasants and other upland wildlife throughout the year. In harsh winters, shelterbelts become rescue cover, allowing a nucleus of breeding individuals to survive the winter and repopulate the rural landscape the next spring. During the year, Pheasants Forever expended $4.8 million to plant trees and has spent $32.7 million on planted trees since 1982. Wetlands - Wetlands provide an excellent source of winter cover and provide the best overall survival rates for pheasants. A wetland's dense network of stems provides effective insulation from cold temperatures and wind chill and provides shelter from blowing and drifting snow. Pheasants Forever restored 410 acres of wetlands during the year and 89,751 acres of wetlands since inception. Food Plots- Winter cover is much more effective with a high energy food source nearby. Well-placed food plots establish safe foraging patterns, restrict unnecessary movements, and provide a dependable food source. A dependable high energy food source is needed to carry female birds through harsh winters in good condition and leads to a reduction in mortality rate during the following spring nesting season. During the year, Pheasants Forever planted 53,223 acres of food plots and has planted 2,351,900 acres of food plots since 1982. Nesting Cover - Throughout the pheasant range, nesting cover is the single most important limiting factor for wildlife populations. Establishing the right vegetation and managing it properly will provide pheasants with concealment from predators and protection from various weather conditions. Additionally, our nesting and brood-rearing projects that plant prairie grasses and forbs (flowering plants) also improve habitat for bees, butterflies and other pollinators. Pheasants Forever established or improved 18,162 acres of nesting cover during the year, and more than 3,245,000 acres since 1982. Maintenance - During fiscal year 2025 Pheasants Forever completed 452 projects to maintain quality habitat on over 15,000 acres. Since 1999 the organization has completed more than 59,000 maintenance projects covering more than 3,763,000 acres. Equipment - Pheasants Forever chapters purchase specialized habitat equipment which is either donated to local wildlife agencies or made available to local landowners to aid in establishing and/or maintaining their own habitat projects. During the year, Pheasants Forever expended $985,000 to purchase habitat equipment and has spent $23.3 million on habitat equipment since inception. Farm Bill Biologist Program - Pheasants Forever has developed a network of more than 350 trained biologists that work directly with local landowners, state and federal agencies and others around the country. These Farm Bill Biologists, Coordinating Wildlife Biologists, Habitat Specialists and others assist landowners and property managers in designing, developing, and funding habitat improvements on private lands and public lands. PF Biologists and other trained field staff possess the knowledge of federal, state, and local programs to assist landowners in finding the right program to meet their personal habitat and land use goals. Through a unique partnership, Farm Bill Biologists are located in local USDA service centers in priority habitat areas throughout the pheasant and quail range. During fiscal year 2025, Pheasants Forever biologists worked with more than 43,600 landowners to improve wildlife habitat on more than 2.04 million acres.Desc

DescPublic Awareness, Education and Outreach: The education and outreach component of Pheasants Forever provides year-round youth programs that offer a pathway of activities that cultivate and grow land stewards and hunting conservationists of all ages. The focus is on hunter recruitment, retention, and reactivation. This initiative is carried on in part through the No Child Left Indoors(R) Initiative and other outreach activities. The organization's publications, The Pheasants Forever Journal of Upland Conservation (published four times a year) and The Quail Forever Journal of Quail Conservation (published four times a year) and the joint Upland Hunting SUPER issue (published once for both PF and QF audiences) are distributed to members along with a variety of printed and electronic communications disseminated to educators, chapter leaders, and other stakeholders. These periodicals contain information pertaining to the need for wildlife habitat development and restoration, the benefits of water and soil conservation, current issues and policies affecting conservation and the tradition of hunting, chapter activities and other special features. During the 2025 fiscal year, Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever hosted over 2,000 outreach events that introduced habitat education, our hunting heritage, shooting sports and conservation engagement to 44,253 youth and 45,876 adult participants across the country. Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever outreach events include events, workshops, educational materials and resources. Education & Outreach efforts support PF and QF chapters in community activities that engage youth and their families in outdoor, hands-on activities aimed at recruiting, retaining & reactivating hunter conservationists and engaged advocates for wildlife habitat. Such events include hunter safety classes, learn to hunt events, pollinator habitat projects, summer camps, shooting programs and outdoor field days. Youth 17 or younger can become Ringnecks and/or Whistler members. Over 11,000 youth members receive the youth publication Upland Tales four times a year. Youth leadership is encouraged at the local level and through state youth leadership councils. Educational brochures also are available on subjects such as habitat and pheasant population dynamics.Desc

Schedule D, Part II, Line 5Pheasants Forever, Inc. believes that the long-term control of wildlife habitat is often in the best interest of both the public and wildlife. Conservation easements provide one mechanism by which the organization can facilitate long-term control without the upfront expense and long term operational costs of land ownership. On-going monitoring and enforcement are important components of successful conservation easements. The following steps will be conducted for each Pheasant Forever owned conservation easement. Baseline survey - Pheasants Forever staff will evaluate the property with the owners to document the property's resource values (current and potential), boundaries, and potential threats and hazards. The Baseline Survey will be conducted using The Forever Land Trust Baseline Documentation Checklist. The Baseline Survey should be conducted within one year of acquiring the interest and the landowner should be involved whenever possible. Monitoring - Pheasants Forever staff and/or volunteers will conduct annual on-site or aerial monitoring of all conservation easements to evaluate current resource conditions and to document existing or potential threats to the easement. To the extent practicable, the persons involved in monitoring should have pertinent information from the Baseline Survey for comparison with current conditions. A monitoring report will be filed and maintained along with the Baseline Survey in Pheasant Forever's files at the National Office. The Chief Conservation Officer will immediately be notified of any perceived threats. Enforcement - Any necessary enforcement action is to be undertaken by Pheasants Forever's Chief Conservation Officer in conjunction with local staff. Easement Modifications - Easements may be modified only if the protected resources will benefit from a modification. Any modification request should be sent to the Chief Conservation Officer for evaluation. The Chief Executive Officer must approve any modification.
Schedule D, Part II, Line 9A conservation easement is a voluntary, legal enforceable agreement between a landowner and another entity in which the landowner gives up certain rights to use or modify their land subject to the terms of the easement. The entity agrees to monitor and enforce conditions within the agreement throughout the life of the easement (usually in perpetuity). In certain cases, the Organization acquires, or accepts as a donation, easements that provide conservation benefits consistent with the Organization's mission. Conservation easements that are purchased are recorded as program expense in the year acquired. Contributed easements are recorded as contribution income and program expense based on appraisal or other estimated value.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4Wildlife Conservation Experience Fund - The Wildlife Conservation Experience Fund is meant to perpetually fund annual engagement activities, events and/or programs for high school aged students that have interest in wildlife conservation, hunting and/or shooting sports. Students are provided the opportunity to learn skills and explore a variety of careers and current issues relevant to conservation and the outdoor recreation industry. As much as possible, opportunities are offered to students through authentic, experiential learning activities. When and where possible, resource professionals and representatives from the outdoor recreation industry provide sessions that emphasize the opportunities and career paths students can pursue. Forever Shooting Sports Fund - The Forever Shooting Sports Fund will perpetually fund actions that support those priorities mentioned above at the chapter and/or local level. Examples of such are chapter incentives, leveraging local support for programs, the Adopt a Team program, activity cost sharing, etc. Dependent upon organizational chapter priorities, this program may provide other incentives for shooting sports initiatives in the future. Habitat Education Fund - This fund is used to fund opportunities to educate youth and others about conservation programs.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2The Organization has been granted exempt status for federal and state corporate income taxes purposes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state codes. It has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation. Therefore, charitable contributions are tax deductible.

The Organization is subject to unrelated business income tax on advertising revenues and merchandise sales. The Organization projects no income tax liability for the year ended June 30, 2025. The two single member limited liability companies owned by Organization are disregarded entities for income tax purposes and follow the same tax treatment as the Organization.
