committee for the quail initiative has been formed to provide leadership and coordination of educational outreach efforts,” Cathey said. The fi rst meeting was held Dec. 17 at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in San Angelo. “This committee is made up of landowners, outfi t-
ters, AgriLife Extension agents, biologists and others with a keen awareness and concern relating to the quail decline issue.” Cathey said their specifi c charges include organiz-
ing a statewide quail symposium in 2014, assisting in implementing Texas Quail Index demonstrations statewide, identifying desirable locations to host up- coming Quail Appreciation Days and providing ideas for research to enhance quail abundance. Several of AgriLife Extension’s county agents across the state will be working to develop the Appreciation Days with Rollins and others and will be participating in boots-on-the-ground quail demonstration work with local landowners.
