Welcome to Greater Denver Pheasants Forever. We are a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to the protection and enhancement of pheasant and quail and other wildlife populations in Colorado through habitat improvement, land management, public awareness, youth/collegiate outreach and public access.
Our local chapter in Colorado was founded amongst those upland hunters and sportsmen and women in your community. Our goal is to provide those avid outdoorsmen and women an opportunity to assist in the protection and enhancement of pheasants and other upland bird populations around the local area.
Pheasants Forever is the only national organization with a model of chapters keeping 100% of the funds they raise. While belonging to a larger national organization that has a voice on federal and state conservation policies, chapters are tasked with finding projects for their funds. Our Mantra: No Child Left Indoors!

John Hyde, Outreach Chair
I relocated to Colorado in 1995. I enjoy all things outdoors that include camping, fishing, hiking, bird watching, hunting. Soon after moving here I had my first bird dog a real spitfire of an English Springer Spaniel. For many years I was involved with the Northern Colorado Springer Spaniel club helping with their field trials along with participating in their events. We enjoyed hunting wild birds from North Dakota to Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado during those great years of cooperative weather and peak CRP. I ended up falling in love with English Setters and have hunted over them for the last 20 years. I have been a member of Pheasants Forever since 2000ish and have recently been able to be more active in our local chapter after retiring from my Pharmacist career after 30 years. I have always enjoyed the mentoring role and look forward to getting more people out and introducing them to upland hunting. Along with my BS in Pharmacy I have two Masters from CU and have earned black belts in three different disciplines.
