Dedicated to the principles of healthy forests, abundant wildlife, and a strong conservation ethic, the Ruffed Grouse Society and American Woodcock Society (RGS & AWS) collaborate to enhance wildlife habitat and foster forest health. With a history dating back to 1961, RGS promotes stewardship for forests, wildlife, and future generations, envisioning landscapes of thriving, diverse forest ecosystems that provide sanctuary to wildlife and inviting experiences for people. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, RGS employs a team of experts to work closely with private landowners and governmental agencies, employing scientific management practices to create crucial habitat for ruffed grouse, American woodcock, and similar species. Their dedicated members, primarily grouse and woodcock hunters, support national conservation and management endeavors to ensure the long-term well-being of these species.
