Lynns passion for quail and his participation in USDA conservation programs on his own farm made him a believer in habitat enhancement.  Lynn wanted to help others put more habitat on the ground by starting a local QF chapter in his county.

In just two years, Lynns chapter has spent over $9,800 on 32 habitat projects (1,153 total acres) in Franklin County.   

Since forming in 2006, the Franklin County Chapter of Quail Forever has conducted 2 Youth Mentor Hunt events for 26 kids in the Franklin County area.   

Lynns chapter supports a number of state-wide habitat programs including Corners For Wildlife, CRP-MAP, and the State Habitat Raffle.  Since 1996, their have been over 41 Corners for Wildlife projects enrolled in Franklin County (257 acres).  Lynn also has a Corners For Wildlife project on his own property.  

In his spare time, Lynn enjoys riding his Motorcycle, participating in prescribed burns, and chasing Bob white quail around his farm.
