FY17-21 WLFW-Northern bobwhite Map
-
This map was current as of FY21 for NRCS WLFW-Northern bobwhite but updated for FY22 based on the NRCS state offices that opted into the Northern bobwhite, Grasslands and Savannas Framework partnership (by FY22 there will be 24 states).

Map of NRCS States Opting In/Out of WLFW Northern bobwhite
-
In February 2021, NRCS requested that 30 state offices within the northern bobwhite current or historic range submit a final decision to National Headquarters on opting in or out of WLFW Northern bobwhite, Grasslands and Savannas. The decisions were completely voluntary and dependent on each states interest and ability to commit. These maps depict the distribution of states and their responses. Note that Oklahoma has now joined (and we need to updated this map)!

Northern Bobwhite in Working Grasslands
-
The northern bobwhite is often referred to and "edge" species, seeking habitat where crop fields intersect with woodlands, pastures, and old fields. The desired outcomes of project practices is 1) improved cattle production for grazing operations, 2) restore native grasses to the agricultural landscape, and 3) improve soil health, water quality, and wildlife habitat on farms.
