Ruffed Grouse Society

No other wildlife conservation organization is dedicated to protecting, restoring and creating early successional forests that provide habitat for ruffed grouse, woodcock and songbirds. 

Habitat Management is Essential to the Future of Grouse and Woodcock Hunting. Grouse and woodcock habitat must be responsibly and intelligently managed to maintain or grow grouse populations, whether it be by private landowners or government agencies. Left unmanaged, even the best habitat will outgrow its ability to provide grouse with food, cover and protection from predators – and populations will decline.

RGS is the only national/international organization dedicated to the preservation and improvement of grouse hunting and critical grouse habitat through research, education and active participation in habitat management projects.
