Regional Field Representatives

Pheasants Forever utilizes the knowledge and expertise of Regional Representatives. Our Regional Reps are heavily involved in assisting and directing chapters as the chapters raise and spend funds for wildlife habitat improvement, developing innovative habitat and youth education programs for the region and acting as the principle liaison for Pheasants Forever with State and Federal resource agencies.

In addition, our reps assist other Regional Biologists in planning State Conventions and habitat workshops, attending legislative gatherings and other meetings of importance to chapters and resource professionals, participation in various sport shows and other events to promote chapter development, or to further the goals of Pheasants Forever.
