Quail Unlimited was founded in 1981 to battle the problem of declining quail populations and wildlife habitat and is the oldest national, nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to the careful management of America's wild quail. The overall vision is to restore America's quail populations for future generations, giving them the reputation as "America's Leader In Quail Conservationsm."

Quail Unlimited is a membership-based organization that consists of members-at-large as well as members affiliated with local chapters. Local chapters conduct annual fundraisers to have funds available for local projects. Since the deteriorating quail population is directly related to landscape changes that have occurred over the past decades, and habitat loss is the major contributing factor, most local projects are designed to improve habitat conditions.

Chapter members and volunteers are actively involved in hands-on, on-site projects on private and public lands. They also work with farmers and landowners to encourage them to use wildlife-friendly practices and frequently provide monetary incentives as part of their local program.

It is also important to increase awareness of the quail situation to landowners and the general public. Therefore, many chapters conduct informational and educational programs such as workshops, youth conservation days, and other community outreach projects. QU staff have also been very active in regional, state, and national efforts by promoting legislation to benefit quail and other declining grassland species.

Core values include the attentive management of our land and its resources, and the continuation of our proud heritage of conservation, therefore, leaving a legacy and firm foundation for our youth and families to build upon. The QU members are from all walks of life, but they all have the common thread of being interested in quail conservation, now and for the future.
