Welcome Central Kentucky Chapter to the

Quail and Upland Game Alliance (QUGA) Covey!

QUGA is proud to announce Central Kentucky Chapter has been added to QUGA with the goal to influence natural habitat, educational youth experiences in conservation and wildlife management in Illinois!

The “Central Kentucky Chapter – QUGA” representing Scott County and surrounding counties in Kentucky. President Jamie Gray stated, As the road to recovers “Quail Plan” has come to a close for the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife, it’s time to continue the efforts for upland game and habitat in Central Kentucky.  Habitat is the key for all game to flourish. Forest and fields benefit from proper management and so do the game it inhabits.  I am looking forward to continuing the efforts for more habitat.

QUGA Regional Director, Jerry Johnson said,” With the help of this new chapter, quail, deer, turkey and other species including the monarch butterfly will benefit from this chapters work and result in a successful hunting season. We are looking forward to a successful membership fundraiser that will enable this chapter to help preserve wildlife habitat”.

The Quail and Upland Game Alliance (QUGA) maintains chapters throughout the Midwest serving Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky. QUGA Membership chapters are involved with hunting, gun raffles, auctions, youth hunts, dog trials, hunter safety courses, habitat management and more. Quail and Upland Game Alliance (QUGA) is the fastest growing outdoor interest group whose mission is to conserve and establish conservation for upland wildlife. A non-profit 501(c) 3 organization, the Quail and Upland Game Alliance was formed to promote the establishment, restoration and maintenance of quail and upland game habitat. Increasing habitat boosts quail and all upland game populations, which in turn benefits the overall health of the environment, instilling a lifelong appreciation for wildlife and the environment as a whole. That’s why youth education is an important part of what we do at QUGA. We are proud of our organizational structure, which empowers chapters to make their own decisions and maintain their own budgets.
