Game Bird Program
Our goal is to sustain and expand high-density wild bobwhite populations in the Red Hills and Albany regions, and restore populations in targeted core areas across the Southeast.
The hallmark of the Game Bird Program is long-term research with historical roots dating back to Herbert L. Stoddard’s seminal work on Northern Bobwhite and prescribed fire.
Our close working relationship with hunting properties keeps our work grounded in practical science. Landowners and managers are the source for research questions and the audience for our research results.
