Georgia Piedmont Natural Resources Cooperative

The Georgia Piedmont Natural Resources Cooperative was established to promote the stewardship of natural resources across a broad landscape and reduce the loss of forest and farm land due to unmanaged urban growth.

Bobwhite Quail in Georgia

Georgia’s quail population has declined by more than 70 percent since the early 1960's primarily due to loss of quality early succession habitat. Restoring this habitat type not only benefits quail, but also certain songbirds and other wildlife, improves water quality, reduces soil erosion, and can economically enhance local communities by stimulating quail hunting and wildlife viewing.

Items found here include information about quail, quail hunting, habitat restoration, the Bobwhite Quail Initiative, landowner assistance programs and practices, research and publications/articles.
