Coraopolis, PA –-(Ammoland.com)- The Ruffed Grouse Society and American Woodcock Society (RGS/AWS) are pleased to announce a grant of $46,431 from the Cabela’s Outdoor Fund to assist a diverse set of projects designed to benefit young forest habitat and wildlife. These projects will be paired with RGS/AWS and partner funds of $31,600 and will take place primarily in the Upper Midwest. Activities will support habitat improvement, regional planning efforts, education, developing the next generation of upland hunters and mentoring activities while supporting a variety of wildlife species dependent on young forest habitat including ruffed grouse, rabbits, American woodcock, white-tailed deer and elk.

“The generous donations made by customers at Cabela’s stores across North America when they ‘round up for conservation’ at the checkout lane are directly responsible for the funds being put into wildlife habitat and outreach during this project,” said John Eichinger, president and CEO of the RGS/AWS. “We greatly appreciate their support, and that of the Cabela’s Outdoor Fund, toward healthy forests, abundant wildlife and sporting traditions for future generations.”
