Our Mission StatementThe mission of the San Diego Chapter of Quail Unlimited is to preserve and improve the natural habitat of quail primarily on public lands for the purpose of maintaining and hopefully increasing healthy quail populations, enhancing hunting opportunities, and for the general benefit of all wildlife. Our efforts are designed to improve the habitat of quail, to the benefit of all types of birds and animals. Wildlife from mice to deer use the water sites we develop and the improved habitat provides food and shelter for all. This is accomplished through the following activities: 1) We rehabilitate water sites (Guzzlers) that were built in previous decades by various conservation groups including CCC, WPA, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and California Department of Fish and Game. Once restored, we regularly check and maintain them as necessary. 2) We develop new sites on public land. The focus is on providing water since it is the single most crucial element for survival. We supplement water sites by providing cover and food sources for wildlife. 3) We monitor quail populations by means of call routes and brood counts to assist the Department of Fish and Game in maintaining healthy populations of quail. About Quail UnlimitedQuail Unlimited, Inc. is a national, non-profit conservation organization dedicated to the preservation and reestablishment of crucial upland game bird habitat vitally needed to sustain healthy populations of quail and other upland game bird species. These goals are achieved through comprehensive habitat management, research, and public education programs conducted both by the national organization and its nationwide network of local chapters. Quail Unlimited chapters retain 60% of every dollar they raise for local habitat, education, and access projects. Quail Unlimited's national office has developed several matching fund programs with government and private sources. Many western chapters have been able to put over 100% of the money they raise back to work for wildlife by taking advantage of these programs. The Chapter Officers
