Federal shutdown forces Pheasants Forever/Quail Forever to furlough farm bill staffers
Published: , in Outdoor News
Minnesota-based Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever said the ongoing federal government shutdown has resulted in the furlough of at least 25% of the conservation organization’s full-time staff.
Jared Wiklund, director of communications, said that affiliate federal agencies issued a “stop-work order” on October 3 for all Natural Resources Conservation Service partnerships. Those federal conservation program contracts help fund the field time of a solid corps of PF/QF employees.
