Welcome to the internet home of the Winnebago County Chapter of Pheasants Forever. A Local Pheasants Forever Chapter in Illinois. Pheasants Forever (PF) is a non-profit conservation organization dedicated to the protection and enhancement of pheasant and other wildlife populations in North America. Read more about PF and our chapter.
All across North America, wildlife habitat is rapidly disappearing. Since 2007, North America has lost more than 50 million acres of grasslands—an area the size of Kansas—to development. Longleaf pine woodlands once covered 90 million acres of the American Southeast. Today, less than 3 percent remain. Changes in land management practices jeopardize the future of the West’s public lands and the upland bird populations they support.
Why Participate?
A National Voice Providing Local Results
Pheasants Forever’s unique grassroots model and chapter system is set up to vastly change the conservation climate for the better. But this can only happen with the support of people like YOU.
Are you passionate about hunting and habitat?
Do you want to give back to a tradition that has given you so many memories afield?
Do you want to make a difference for your local wildlife?
Do you want to leave a legacy for future hunters?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then you need to get involved.
To put it simply, more Pheasants Forever members equal more acres of habitat, more birds, and more public lands to hunt.

Women On The Wing
Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever’s Women on the Wing Initiative will inspire and provide opportunities for women to become engaged, dynamic conservationists. Women on the Wing will draw from our experience and passion to deliver local events designed to cultivate new sportswomen; connect women landowners, farmers and ranchers; and create a community of women dedicated to carrying on our upland traditions and the Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever mission.
