Partners in Conservation: Field Traditions’ Commitment to Preserving Nature

Conservation and sustainable hunting are not merely choices; they are fundamental aspects of our existence as humans. These practices allow us to coexist harmoniously within the natural world that sustains us, maintaining the natural beauty of our planet and supporting the overall well-being of all living things. At Field Traditions, our dedication to conservation and sustainable hunting is rooted in our profound love for nature and its wildlife.

From the very beginning, Field Traditions has believed in the importance of preserving the environments that make hunting and outdoor activities possible. This commitment is evident in our partnerships with leading conservation organizations such as BASC, Quail Forever, Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, Ruffed Grouse Society & American Woodcock Society, and Ducks Unlimited. These partnerships are not just professional alliances but personal commitments born from our passion for hunting, nature, and the preservation of the lands we cherish. We not only donate to these organizations but also actively participate in volunteer work to support their missions.

At Field Traditions, we understand that achieving our conservation goals requires collaboration with organizations that share our values and dedication. Here are some of the esteemed partners we work with:

 

The British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) plays a crucial role in ensuring the sustainable future of shooting sports and wildlife habitats in the UK. Their mission is to promote and protect sporting shooting and advocate for the wellbeing of the countryside and wildlife. We support BASC through financial contributions, understanding that protecting the rights and traditions we enjoy in the US also involves supporting similar efforts globally. BASC’s work is vital in maintaining the balance between shooting sports and conservation, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy these traditions.

 

Quail Forever is dedicated to the conservation of quail, pheasant, and other wildlife through habitat improvement, public access, education, and conservation advocacy. Their mission aligns perfectly with our goals at Field Traditions. Quail Forever has raised more than $565 million and protected over 11 million acres of land for hunting and conservation. They work tirelessly to restore habitats and increase public access to lands previously unavailable for hunting. By partnering with landowners and the state, Quail Forever ensures that these lands are managed sustainably and conserved for future generations. We support Quail Forever through financial contributions and by highlighting their events and projects to raise awareness and support within our community.

The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership (TRCP) is dedicated to ensuring quality places to hunt and fish for all Americans. They fight for policy changes that benefit our waters and landscapes, protect habitats and clean water, and support the outdoor economy. TRCP's mission is to guarantee that everyone has access to public lands and waters, promoting sustainable practices that conserve our natural resources. At Field Traditions, we support TRCP through financial contributions and by sharing their initiatives to promote sustainable hunting practices. TRCP’s work is instrumental in protecting the American landscape and ensuring that future generations can enjoy the outdoors as we do today.

The Ruffed Grouse Society & American Woodcock Society are focused on the conservation of forest wildlife and their habitats. Their mission is to ensure the future of these species by enhancing their natural habitats through sustainable management practices. We support these organizations financially and through educational content that promotes sustainable hunting practices. By working with these societies, we contribute to the preservation of critical habitats that support a wide range of wildlife, ensuring that hunting traditions can continue in harmony with nature.

 

Ducks Unlimited is dedicated to conserving, restoring, and managing wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl. Their work has led to the preservation of over one million acres of conservation land, making a significant impact on the sustainability of waterfowl habitats. Ducks Unlimited is special to our hearts, as duck hunting was Michael’s first introduction to hunting as a young boy. We support Ducks Unlimited through personal donations and volunteer work, particularly in fundraising and event setup. Their success in wetland conservation is a testament to the importance of preserving natural habitats for future generations.

Through our partnerships, Field Traditions has supported numerous conservation projects and initiatives that have had a significant impact on wildlife and habitats. Here are some of the key initiatives we have supported:

 

Quail Forever focuses on conserving quail, pheasants, and other wildlife through habitat improvements. They work to restore natural habitats that have been degraded or lost, providing essential resources for wildlife to thrive. Quail Forever’s efforts include planting native vegetation, creating safe nesting areas, and ensuring that these habitats are protected from development and other threats. By improving habitats, Quail Forever not only supports wildlife but also enhances the hunting experience for outdoor enthusiasts.

One of Quail Forever’s notable achievements is their work in increasing public access to hunting lands. By partnering with landowners and state agencies, they open previously inaccessible lands to the public, allowing more people to enjoy hunting and outdoor activities. This initiative is crucial in promoting sustainable hunting practices, as it spreads out hunting pressure and ensures that lands are managed responsibly.

Ducks Unlimited’s work in wetland conservation has been groundbreaking. Their efforts have led to the preservation of over one million acres of wetlands, which are critical habitats for waterfowl and other wildlife. Wetlands are essential for maintaining biodiversity, providing clean water, and supporting a range of ecological functions. By conserving these areas, Ducks Unlimited ensures that waterfowl populations remain healthy and that hunters have quality places to hunt. Their success stories in wetland restoration and management highlight the importance of preserving these vital ecosystems.

Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership (TRCP) plays a crucial role in advocating for policies that benefit the environment and outdoor activities. They work to ensure that public lands remain accessible for hunting and fishing, protect animal habitats, and maintain clean water resources. TRCP’s efforts in policy advocacy have led to significant achievements in conserving the American landscape and ensuring that future generations can enjoy these natural resources. By supporting TRCP, Field Traditions contributes to the broader effort of maintaining a balanced relationship between human activities and the environment.
