The Metro Denver Chapter is open to all residents and youth in the Metro Denver area, and any national or state member who lives in an area not served by a local chapter. Learn more . . .

Metro Denver Pheasants Forever Merges with Local Quail Forever Chapter!!!!

Recently, the Metro Denver Pheasants Forever Board of Directors were approached by the Board of Directors from the Colorado Covey of Quail Forever with an interest in merging the two chapters.  Through multiple discussions, it was clear that we all have the same basic goals and mission....to improve habitat and provide opportunities to our local youth.  With the approval of our national office and our regional director, we have merged the two chapters and are now the Metro Denver Pheasants Forever/Quail Forever Chapter #816.  As a result of the merger, we have gained two additional board members from the QF chapter, namely Larry Gysin (Membership Co-Chair) and Kim Herfurt (Habitat Co-Chair).    Larry will be in charge of working with Rick Cranston, our current Membership Chair and monitoring the QF memberships.  Kim is a Division of Wildlife Sr. Huntmaster and offers his expertise and knowledge to the youth mentor program and will also be acting as the Habitat Co-Chair.  The QF chapter will be donating $500 to the MDPF/QF combined chapter and we appreciate their contribution to our cause.  The merger increases our membership by 17 members and we look forward to working with them as a team on our projects throughout the year. 

We are working on a joint membership program where members can join both PF and QF at a reduced cost to be members of both entities.  We will post more information on the progress of the membership incentives as soon as they are finalized.  In the meantime, lets welcome our new QF  partners.
