The partnershipprovides ALPS OutdoorZ with a wide array of marketing opportunities for its innovative product lines while delivering financial support to the overarching mission of the nation’s leading upland conservation organizations, including direct endorsement of the Hunter Mentor Pledge campaign.

“As a renewing national sponsor, upland hunters should recognize ALPS OutdoorZ as a leading outdoor gear manufacturer who maintains uncompromising, incredible support for conservation and hunting traditions,” says Colby Kerber, hunting heritage program manager for Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever. “The partnership’s first year successes highlight how by working together, industry frontrunners and conservation nonprofits can make enormous strides for hunting heritage and wildlife habitat conservation.”

In fiscal year 2021, launch of the Hunter Mentor Pledge and support for Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s Call of the Uplands®  national campaign highlighted the beginnings of the productive partnership.

The Pledge supports Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s Call of the Uplands initiative, helping to reach 1.5 million participants with new and expanded programs for outdoor recreation, shooting sports, and hunting, while also contributing direct financial support for the goal of conserving 9 million acres nationwide through various conservation programs and strategies.

“We truly value the partnership with Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever,” says Adam Brune of ALPS OutdoorZ. “PF & QF have been great partners in our quest to Save the Lifestyle. With the common goal to get more people outside and save our hunting heritage, we are truly making more of an impact together than we could individually.”

In addition to continuing the previous partnership, ALPS OutdoorZ has amplified their dedication to R3 (Recruit, Retain and Reactivate efforts) through new direct program support for PF & QF’s Education and Outreach efforts. ALPS OutdoorZ’s commitment will provide assistance to support Path to the Uplands program delivery, including Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s innovative Learn to Hunt program.
