"Dream Big, Dream Often, and Dream in Color." Those were the words of Jerome Ford, @USFWS Assistant Director, Migratory Bird Program (@USFWSBirds), as he addressed, motivated, and inspired the students of the Tuskegee University chapter of Ducks Unlimited. The night marked a historic moment for the organization, as the Tuskegee Red Tails became the first-ever HBCU chapter to hold a DU event. The night also included recognition of the Federal Duck Stamp program as stamps were given to each attendee, courtesy of Sam Soholt, @PublicLandTees, and the Stamp it Forward project. Special thanks to the Alabama DU family for supporting the event and honoring the students' courage and passion for wetland and wildlife conservation.

Last weekend, longtime Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever employee Jim Inglis was honored by his alma mater, Mississippi State University. Inglis was one of eight former students inducted into the 2023 Alumni Fellows program and was recognized during MSU’s home football game against the University of Alabama. Now a 22-year veteran of Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever, Inglis has served the organization in countless capacities — from chapter volunteer to the organization’s first farm bill biologist coordinator — to his current role as the director of government affairs. “Jim’s career path shows just how dedicated he is to conservation,” said Ron Leathers, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s chief conservation officer. “He’s been involved in our habitat mission at every level and continues to be a tremendous voice for the organization. His impact, not only on Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever, but on habitat conservation in general, is profound. Jim deserves this recognition and much more for his decades of service.” Read more about Jim and his MSU Alumni Fellows induction, at the link below. pheasantsforever.org/BlogLan…
