Mecosta County Chapter of Pheasants Forever

Making a difference for wildlife

The Mecosta County Chapter of Pheasants Forever is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the improvement of wildlife habitat for pheasants and all wildlife. The Chapter is totally operated by volunteers who are not in any way compensated for their efforts other that the satisfaction that they are making a difference for wildlife.

The Mecosta County Chapter helps local landowners improve their properties by distributing over 1500 pounds of seed, free of charge, to members of Pheasants Forever. The Annual Membership fee is $30.00. You can become a member and receive a seed order form here on this web site.

The Mecosta County Chapter funds all programs through money raised at their Annual Banquet. Unlike other conservation organizations Pheasants Forever chapters retain virtually 100 percent of funds they raise. Only your $30.00 membership fee is forwarded to the national office.Ninety two cents out of every dollar goes toward wildlife habitat.

The Chapter also holds an Annual Youth Mentor Hunt. Each youth is able to hunt with an experienced guide dog. Everyone is treated to lunch thanks to our local sponsors.

The Chapter also sponsors the Leopold Education Project (LEP) directed at teaching youth land and conservation ethics espoused by Aldo Leopold.

Since inception, Pheasants Forever has measured its success not in pheasants, but in acres. Every year we work hard to ensure that more and better habitat is made available for the benefit for a wide range of wildlife. Our work restores wetlands, protects prairies, or it enhances what already exists through the establishment of food plots, winter cover and nesting cover. Our benficiaries include not only hunters, conservationists and farmers, but all concerned with wildlife and the environment as well.
