A Partnership for Success

Corners for Wildlife

The Pheasants Forever Kansas Corners for Wildlife Program offers producers the opportunity to improve both ROI and habitat opportunities by providing 5 years of annual rental payments for planting enrolled acres into an approved conservation cover mix. The program is available to landowners in three counties in Northwest Kansas (Sherman, Thomas, Logan). Pivot corners, playa, and other in-field wetland buffers, field borders, waterways, and other waste ground are eligible. Contracts are 5 years in length and provide an annual rental payment of $75 per acre.

Building a Legacy

In Memory of John Leo Hayden

February 3, 1945 - March 3, 2023

John Leo Hayden devoted his life to conservation and habitat development, aiming to safeguard the tradition of pheasant hunting for generations to come. His deepest passions included his faith, his beloved wife, his family, and the great outdoors. Leo Hayden played a crucial role in the Build a Wildlife Area® program, facilitating Pheasants Forever's acquisition of 1,080 acres of land in Sherman County, Kansas. This land has since been transferred to the Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks and is now known as the Veteran's Wildlife Area. It is open to public hunting and is meticulously managed to sustain wildlife habitat.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our generous sponsors whose support was crucial in advancing wildlife conservation efforts, enriching local communities, and celebrating the cherished tradition of pheasant hunting.
