I'm sure many of you have received this email recently, but for those that haven't here's a way to raise $30 in habitat by donating $10 through a text message (For those out-of-state, this program is going on in many other states as well - go to http://www.buildawildlifearea.org/ to see which other states have BAWA programs and more details).
As a member of the Iowa State PF Council I can tell you that your money will not go to waste; there are many habitat projects going on around the state and this helps fund at least 1-2 more every year. Here's the email I got this morning: It is no secret that the pheasant populations in Iowa have been dealt repeated blows over the past several years due to a variety of factors. We must hold out hope and continue to fight to reverse this trend and restore Iowa to the premier pheasant hunting destination it has been for so many years. Whether you're a diehard pheasant hunter, lifelong farmer, or you simply enjoy spending time outdoors, your love of the outdoors coupled with our mission to conserve, protect and enhance wild places for our children and grandchildren is a bond we share and one that brings us together. Together, we must take a stand for Wildlife, Land and Legacy. Luckily, these three words can be benefited by eight simple letters: PF BAWAIA Text PF BAWAIA to 27722 to make a $10 donation to PFs Build a Wildlife Area program in Iowa and stand with us today for Wildlife, Land and Legacy. Mobile donations can be made up to five times per month.* With your easy $10 donation matched three times, Pheasant Forevers Build a Wildlife Area program (BAWA) shines as a brilliant example of what the combined efforts of individuals, corporations, small businesses, non-profit organizations and government entities can achieve when we work together toward a common goal. Since the Iowa programs inception in 2006, Iowa's BAWA campaigns have created more than 1,100 acres of new wildlife areas that are all open to public hunting and outdoor recreation. The foundation of the program is simple- put 100 percent of funds raised directly towards land acquisition and utilize state and federal grants that triple those contributions. Have you done your part to leave a legacy for future generations so they can have the same, if not better, outdoor opportunities you had as a child? The answer is simple: Text PF BAWAIA to 27722 to make a $10 donation today and help us ensure that we leave a legacy for tomorrow in Iowa! * Yours in Conservation, Howard K.
