bobwhite populations that continue to thrive even in the face of near record drought over the last several years. “The support that TPWD provides in this partner-
ship, and much of the support from others, would not be possible without the contributions of hunters, and specifi cally quail hunters, that purchase Upland Game Bird Stamps. Above all, the persistence and abundance of the bobwhite on the landscape in South Texas results from a land stewardship ethic that is clearly the founda- tion for the success of this species and many others.” Henry Hamman, Houston, says, “As a representative
of South Texas landowners, and in my role as chair of the Advisory Board of the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute, we are honored by this designation. It will go a long way to highlighting the importance of this region to wild quail.” Fred Bryant, CKWRI executive director, says, “What
an honor and affi rmation by the National Bobwhite Conservation Initiative. This recognition sets us apart as a bastion of wild quail habitat in a region we have coined as the ‘Last Great Habitat.’ The stamp of ap- proval is heart-warming to all of the conservation and hunting community we represent.” Primary criteria for the Legacy Landscape designa-
tion includes an extensive area of ecologically contigu- ous habitat that has for decades supported high densities of wild northern bobwhites, a long-term tradition of purposefully implementing or maintaining land use practices that support bobwhite habitat conservation, and landowners, hunters and other stakeholders who have demonstrated strong support for quail hunting, management and/or quail research over multiple de- cades. Headquartered at the University of Tennessee’s
Institute of Agriculture, NBCI is an initiative of the National Bobwhite Technical Committee (NBTC) to elevate bobwhite quail recovery from an individual state-by-state proposition to a coordinated, range-wide leadership endeavor. The committee is composed of representatives of
25 state wildlife agencies, various academic research institutions and private conservation organizations. Funds for NBCI are provided by the respective state
wildlife agencies, the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies and Park Cities Quail. For more information, please visit us at
