“It’s rewarding to see this program continue to grow,” said Lance Tracy, SportDOG Brand VP. “Each year has seen an increase in the number of applicants for these grants. We believe it’s important for us to continue giving something back to the conservation initiatives our employees and customers care about.”

For the Birds Twenty Years Out of Range
Monday, August 16th, 2010
Although I’ve had a few days in the field when the birds seem 20 years out of range, that’s not what I’m referring to.
Pheasants Forever national partner SportDOG has a give-back program that could help you or your local Pheasants Forever or Quail Forever chapter collar some funding for a worthy wildlife habitat or youth conservation education project. The SportDOG Brand® Conservation Fund® grants program could net your individual or chapter-based project up to $5,000 – projects “for the birds twenty years out of range.”
The deadline for applications is coming up quicker than a pointer in pursuit – October 1, 2010.
