Don' t get me wrong when I am discussing the " sign on every post" theme. I am well aware what goes into habitat construction and preservation. As a PF member in Nebraska, I was involved with 4 different land mgmt. programs as well as yuouth hunt mentoring. The problem lies with the PF chapters in northern IL and southern WI. I attended a banquet last spring where absolutely no mention was made of programs that all the dollars were slated for. There is virtually no presence in the surrounding countryside.

The signs are important. They let a farmer' s neighbors know that there is an organization that will work with them on habitat issues.
