Welcome to Central Pennsylvania's Pheasants Forever Chapter website. Our mission statement is as follows:

 "The Central Pennsylvania Chapter of Pheasants Forever was founded in March 2008 to restore local wildlife habitat in Centre and surrounding counties.  Our goal is to restore wetlands, streams, stream buffers and uplands with a focus on restoring upland bird habitat and establishing a local, huntable wild pheasant population."

Use the links to the left to learn about the National Conservation organization, our local projects, and our Chapter events. Also, new this year, check out our Pheasant Trapper, Jesse's YouTube site to see him in action! If you have additional questions, please contact one of the Officers or the webmaster.

Volunteers Needed! If you are interested in becoming a committee member, let one of the current Officers know or call Adam at (814)-880-1832. We need help planning chapter events such as our Membership Banquet, our clay shoot, and our Wing Ding. Can you plant trees or run a tractor? We need volunteers to assist in our habitat restoration projects as well.
