Duluth Retriever Club Project
Duluth Retriever Club Project: In a fall 2012 partnership with the Duluth Retriever Club, the St. Louis/Carlton County chapter of Pheasants Forever assisted in the creation of 14 acres of upland habitat. The project will set back tree encroachment, change habitat to open field/ wetland combination, and enhance the DRC mission to train and trial dogs for hunting and outdoor recreation.

Homecroft School Project
The mission of the Habitat for Homecroft project is to promote a land ethic that can be passed from generation to generation in order for all of us to be good stewards or our natural resources. All of our conservation efforts today will have little purpose tomorrow if we don't have a constituency that is attached to nature. That's why our education and youth programs are so important. As part of the national No Child Left Indoors initiative, our goal is to take every opportunity at the national, state and local level to introduce youth and their families to the outdoors; teach them about habitat and wildlife, instill an appreciation of natural resources and encourage them to be conservation-minded citizens. The primary objective of the Habitat for Homecroft project is to provide a hands-on, outdoor educational area for not only Homecroft school, but the community at large.
Youth Director David Lood spent an afternoon with second grade students at Homecroft Elementary school. The class learned about the pheasant, habitat, conservation and made some pinecone bird feeders for the kids to take home.
Please contact us if you would like us to visit your classroom or other conservation/outdoor recreation event.
