Are you a landowner in Virginia? If yes, then the federal government has an offer you might not want to pass up. The fed is offering about $65 per acre for 10 years to owners who have land suitable for establishing quail habitat. The idea is for landowners to maintain habitat buffers along the edge of fields. The state has allocated funds for some 3,600 acres of habitat improvement. For more information contact the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. The buffers also benefit wild turkeys and other wildlife.
