After Jennifer Ward’s Prescribed Burning presentation at the Wildlife Arts Festival, we speak with Quail Forever’s Farm Bill Biologist (Jennifer Ward) and Outreach Coordinator (Hannah Hodges) about the stigmas and misunderstandings of fire and its importance for habitat management in the Southeast.  We go into Smoke Management and planning, the different methods of burning- “Building the Black”, land management success stories, education & outreach to promote QF’s mission, engaging new hunters interested in learning about conservation, building/ hiring a habitat team in south Georgia to help private landowners.   The Charles Jordan Group Charles Jordan recognizes quality and that brings up a conversation about creativity, and who better to call than the Charles Jordan group and ask them about marketing solutions for various clients like Spanish Double Gun companies and the Orvis endorsed hunting lodges.    Eukanuba- Eukanuba provides THE NUTRIENTS CANINE ATHLETES NEED.  Genetics and training are the foundation of performance.
