7.  The U.S. Forest Service has important roles on both public and private lands. Its State and Private Forestry division administers the Forest Stewardship Program and the Stewardship Incentives Program, both of which are ideally suited to encourage the management of private, non-industrial forests for quail.  Both programs are severely under-funded.  The national forest management plans likewise could contribute by placing priority on providing multi-purpose early-successional habitats for bobwhites, loggerhead shrikes, red-cockaded woodpeckers, and numerous other declining species.
8.  The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program has incentive money and technical staff on the ground to help private landowners provide wildlife habitats.  The new Landowner Incentive Program and other available grant monies, if considerate of bobwhite habitat needs, could support bobwhite habitat restoration projects.
9.  Numerous private and public foundations are receptive to project proposals to restore habitats and ecosystems for the mutual benefit of both bobwhites and declining songbirds.
