Quail Unlimited, the conservation organization dedicated to bobwhite quail, furloughed its remaining 24 employees and put its Edgefield, S.C., headquarters up for sale last week, according to a story by Rob Pavey in the Augusta Chronicle. QU, like many conservation organizations, has been facing challenges from the economic downturn, but has also been met with internal difficulties.
“It is bleak,” said QU board member Bill Bowles. “On Oct. 27th we realized we couldn’t make payroll for the 31st. How do you ask someone to stay when you can’t pay them?”
Efforts are underway to rescue the organization. Bowles doesn’t believe a bankruptcy will be necessary. The headquarters, a warehouse and 75 acres are up for sale. “There is equity in the property,” Bowles said. “The sale could at least get the organization partly out of the hole. We don’t have to have 75 acres and a warehouse to run a conservation organization.”
